I just noticed something. God only helps when people act as though he doesn't exist.

For example, if you stay at home and just wait for God to heal your illness, usually he won't. But if you act like he's not there, and go to the doctor, he will! More often.

If you wander around not paying attention, eventually you'll get hit by a car. But if you act like he's not there and carefully look where your are going, he will look after you and you don't get hit so much!

If you sit around praying to God on your own for food each day, the chances of it coming you are slim and you'll probably eventually starve. But if you act like he is not there, go out and do a job, earn money and buy food, he provides food!

So...

God loves atheists.
