In the end, there's just what you personally believe

[Silver]

Personal belief is too subjective for any reason to penetrate it.

Am I right?

You know I am.

You're going to believe what you want and fight tooth and nail against any kind of reasonable argument against what you believe because you have something almighty on your side that cannot be proven to exist yet it must exist simply because you believe that it does.

Who can argue against that kind of logic, am I right?

The problem with belief tends to stem from the inability to place one's self in another's shoes.

Can Christians honestly state they've placed themselves in the shoes of the unbeliever?

Isn't the main issue with life that we cannot adequately understand others and their viewpoints?

I can personally understand both ends of the spectrum.

The conclusion is that theists allow their egos more control than reason.  Atheists allow reason over ego.

It's brave by religious to torture their mind for decades. But it's disgusting when they want to spread that shit like AIDS.

Disease can be a beautiful thing without the mention of AIDS.

Just for future reference.

I'm not sure it's ego. I've met a lot of diffident theists, just not here.

You're lucky to have met more sociable theist than the asshats we have here.

We were all born atheist, some just had a stronger brainwashing and influential environment than others, which makes it difficult to accept certain truths.

The difference is not that atheists are any more reasonable than theists, nor any less biased, but rather that we don't mistake our subjective opinions for the transcendent views of a god.
