you think there are no immortal God's, there are no immortal souls. all that exist are atoms and the void. I think there are no atoms, there is no void. all that exists are immortal souls and God.

Did a materialist do a demonstration on you with a baseball bat or something?any hostile tone you are interpreting I assure you is not being conveyed. I am simply using some passive aggressive back and forth expressing my disagreement while also issuing a jab similar to what you might call a PWN. it is often used in fair debates and is not particularly hostile.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
