RE: The nearness to God factor. How do Atheists feel about moving higher or lower?
April 20, 2014 at 8:11 pm
I don't know if people misunderstand what I'm saying or purposely doing a straw man.
I said nothing of religious or people believing God being better or closer to God.
I'm saying, in absence of God, what do people feel they gravitate towards since I feel when we become more good, we reach higher stages, which are closer to God as there are infinite stages, and you can go higher up or lower, and when I think of higher and lower, I think of it with respect to a metaphysical existence.
I'm asking to see people's opinions. I've been here for some time now, and I've always made it clear, that I don't deem theists superior to atheists, nor do I think disbelieving in God will make you a non-righteous person or distance you from God. I've said the exact opposite in fact, saying, I think Atheists can be as close to God as Theists can be, if they do good and are loving people.
