Project much?

Natural instincts aren't your strong suit either, I believe. Humans aren't the world. There are many other life forms surrounding us, who don't jump of a bridge either. And what soul? Do you have one in your pocket? If so, can you present it for everyone to see?

No, caveman logic. Desperately looking for explanations, for some higher being taking you by the hand.

It is much easier to attack rather than engage in deep thinking.  You don't need to get so upset.  If there is no creator then what is the point of life.  Would you agree that a living species that feels pain is different than a rock or tree that doesn't feel pain?  If you agree, then what is the point of that living species ever coming into existence if there is no creator?  Yes, I have a soul.  It is rooted in my ability to hand money to a complete stranger to help them out.  It is rooted in my ability to have a faith in a higher power.  It is rooted in my ability to have free will.  It is rooted in my ability enjoy music.  It is rooted in my ability to reject evil actions that would help myself but hurt others.  Yes, humans have an extremely strong soul that cannot be explained by science.

I don't believe anything. And I don't give a single shit what you are believing. Don't pester me and I won't pester you. But since you saw fit to come here, treating us all to your ignorance whilst throwing around accusations and blanket statements, I don't see any reason to hold back.

Also, much to your surprise, atheism doesn't define me. In my day to day life, I don't waste a single thought on my absence of belief. I'm only reminded of why I don't particularly care for willfully ignorant people when being confronted with statements like that. Go, preach to someone who cares.

 Could be they have an order of coming to fruition and over a certain period of time, the scriptures never dictated when they would start, but they are nearly finished. By the way there'll be no rapture, Christians will go through the tribulation as all people will. There will be a big difference for us, God will be with us.

Could be the so-called prophesies are just random events that happen all the time before and after Jesus Predicted them. Like Jesus predicted the fall of Jerusalem. This happened many times before and it didn't take divine revelation for Jesus to look around at all the Romans and predict it would happen again. Plus the gospels were written about ten years after it happened. What else is going to happen?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Again, simply state your belief in the origin of matter.  Then, explain why your belief system is superior to any religion.  You are angry because you realize your belief system is not superior to anyone else.  You have spent a lot of time attacking others because you believe your beliefs (and by the way, having no belief system is a belief) are superior.  It makes you very angry to realize you have zero scientific evidence that your belief system is superior to any religion.

I don't have any. Is that so hard to understand? I said it in my first post responding to your blanket statements. Nobody knows at this point in time. But that doesn't mean to feel the need to fill the blanks with some speculation. Much to your amazement, obviously, most of us don't go about our lives pondering the existence of the universe.

It's you feeling that need and it's you doing the projecting. As I said, just like our distant ancestors, looking at the sun and the moon, not knowing what they are and calling them gods.

Atheism is not a belief system. And not having a belief system is not a belief - don't be absurd.
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.'

They'll wait forever. Christianity will die out before the world will.
