Atheists believe in themselves?

[Mystic]

When I was a kid, I wrote a story about the "the quest for the golden sword", I think it was three friends went in a dungeon, and had to kill a monster, but I don't recall the conversation I put.

It was odd, they had to go fight the monster and subdue it, but could only kill it, when they found the golden sword.

The key word there being that YOU WROTE a story. The fact that you wrote it does not change the fact that you made it up.

Now. Apply that to all of the so called "holy" books.

Just stories, man.

Yet when you a watch movie, and see courage/risk, it has meaning to you.

I think every story is both false and true. Every story shows a perception of praise.

What is the essence of praise in your opinion? I think Atheists have to say perception probably defines a key dimension to it, because for them, it can't even a have metaphysical existence. It's all in the head.

So what's your opinion about praise. What is it in your view.
