God is timeless

Look at here Ben.
I say.............When you think that the life is finite...you reply........Which I do... and then you say.............I don't know how often I have to correct you on this... never mind, I'll go again. Atheism, being an absence of theism, has no attributes on which to have faith or dogma. You do understand that saying "You're as bad as us" is no defense at all?

Can't you see the hypocricy?

There's no hypocrisy. I think that life is finite because of the evidence: death. People die in their hundreds of thousands every day. Animals die in their millions every day. All life meets some form of end. There is no credible evidence, none at all, that 'life' continues after death. Consequently my understanding of the finite nature of life is not an article of faith rather my response to the demonstrable facts.

You say that in atheism there is no faith and dogma and then you say that one of your pillar of FAITH is the believe that life is finite.

My personal view of death is not faith-based, it's evidence-based. Neither is it shaped by any 'commandment' from an 'atheist doctrine': there are atheists who believe that life is infinite or at very least continues after death, in some way; I'm not one of them. Your argument is nonsense.

Beside, you can't even bring evidence that life is finite.
Total disaster Ben.

Erm... death? Have you heard of it?

There is no point in knowing things that at the moment go against your belief.

Yes there is. My beliefs are subject to change based on evidence therefore I make a point of actively seeking information that goes against what I believe. That way, I counter any bias/prejudice I may have and I can make sure that my beliefs are based on as much reality as possible.

The day you will be open to what lie within then you will start digging up the real treasure.

I already know myself. Your attempts to coin an epigram, at my expense, are poor indeed.

First you got to set aside your dogmaS and blind faith.

I already have. I did so when I started paying attention to reality rather than the religious nonsense I was being fed. I would suggest that you take your own advice.
