But do atheists do this?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

err please define "biorobots".

We need to be clear on what you mean by that term first.

Depending on the definition, I probably wouldn't deny it. What's your point?

By the same token I could ask, why Theists deny they're just Sims in gods playground.

What a fucking asinine claim. "atheist" merely denotes "off" on god claims. Where the fuck do you get the idea that means we lack emotions and are merely robots?

Evolution produces human emotions because of the way our biochemical brains evolved. Other species also display the same attributes of cruelty and compassion.

Does it bother you that we can love and enjoy and feel good without assigning that to invisible sky heros? Too bad.

We have emotions because we are the same species. The only difference is we do not insert fictional beings in as a gap answer to explain nature.

Not that that is true, but the though of that being a realty for argument's sake only is horrifying. It means we are property, pawns, lab rats.

Emotions are just chemical reactions in your brain. You are a biorobot

Your chemical reactions need some help. I suggest you consult a medical professional.

Biorobotics is already a well defined term. You cannot just set its meaning equal to human and then start controversy where none exists.
