...and you clearly don't intend to answer the question that you have been repeatedly asked either. You are a Brexit atheist. 'I don't want this but hell knows what I would do better.'

We have ideological differences based on you not liking american atheists that will not just jump on your little bash wagon. 70 years old, a bitter, grumpy, old man that didn't get his way. and now assaulting american atheists with that vile hatred of the millimental atheist.
Rant on little man.

There it is again

but please, don't calls us again, we killed too many of our children trying saving you from yourselves.
No, that wasn't you actually. That was the Russians, you know, those people you hate so much. 10,000,000 of them gone fighting whilst your country did everything it could to stay out of it, in BOTH world wars. So don't give me old American crap about how y'all saved our arses and how, if it hadn't been for you 'All American Boys' singing 'Yankie Doodle Dandy' to frighten off the enemy, we would all be Speaking German by now because that is blatantly false and provably so. You turned up when it was all over in both wars, 4 years after other countries had been fighting their arses off together...and you only came then because you got attacked yourselves. If it hadn't been for that you wouldn't have bothered. ..but that's another subject. Enough of your nonsense!
Sounds like a trap. Does anyone here really say they know there's no god?
Wait a second. This is city-data.com, of course someone does. Where are you?
Yeah, it's a trap. Who cares if there is a god? It's just a big claim intended to confuse people. Stick with what you know, like life after death. If someone dies, leave them out to rot. Watch as long as you want. There is no life after death. Whether there is a god is irrelevant if it means nothing to you.
If you stick to human scale questions, you get nice, solid, human scale answers.
Hi there Miss Hepburn. I did attempt to answer your question about 4 pages ago but my post got lost amongst the bickering I guess.
I'll just add to what I wrote that I 'know' god does not not exist in much the same way that you 'know' he does.
Hi, No I saw it!...tho I don't come here anymore, I felt an obligation to at
least ck out a thread I myself started!
You may not rem my posts, who can keep track...but I would be a person that does NOT respect blind faith.
I am a 'Seeing is believing' gal.
I have had too many experiences for decades, (I'm just one of those strange people), starting at 8 years old whereby I have been shown too much...too much probably for a young person...
so, I know there is an Ever-present Consciousness everywhere...it certainly stopped my rebellious shoplifting as a young teen...feeeeeling It all around me. Geeze!
(Rem, I'm not a Christian and not a proselytizer...atheists are way more honest
than most Christians I know of that have not 'seen' anything, just as an atheist hasn't) In my view...
I have more respect for an atheist's honesty.

Thanks Miss Hepburn....
I thought I'd take this opportunity to share something with you that happened only a couple of days ago.
I stepped out for a minute to take out the trash - threw on my coat first because it was snowing.
As I wheeled the trash can to the end of the drive I took a look around. It was about 10pm-ish, so it should have been dark, but the sky had that ever-so slightly orange glow you get when it is snowing at night. Everything around had that slight glow to it as well - the way that any small amount of light from the streetlights and houses is reflected back from the white snow and it could almost be twilight.
I didn't go back into the house, I started walking. I had no hat, no scarf and no gloves. I'm not sure if I was even wearing socks under my boots. I just pulled my coat around me because I didn't want to miss a minute of this by going back inside to put on warmer clothes.
I walked for about 25 minutes. There were no cars and everything was completely silent. It was that muffled silence you only get in the suburbs when it is snowing.
The snow and the darkness had turned almost everything monotone in color save for the odd orange light from a window here and there. I live near a large pond surrounded by trees so I headed there.
Really it was all so insanely beautiful and peaceful. I was filled with joy and appreciation of nature for a short time. I often take moments like this by myself when the opportunity arises. Maybe it is something to do with me being an artist- I paint in my spare time. My husband sometimes comments that I see things in nature he does not maybe appreciate in quite the same way.
When I got back to the house I was caked in snow.
Now I'm going to say that I imagine from what I know of you, that you would be the type of person to have also taken that walk. Except that you would have been seeing god in all of it. In all honesty the concept of god didn't even enter my head for a split second on that walk, and only occurs to me typing this out to you now. Really nothing occurred to me except for the silence, the peace and beauty in front of my eyes and the appreciation of it all.
I don't know what I'm trying to say except that I do not need god to be filled with joy and a deep appreciation of the universe. I think there is this concept that atheists do not have what a theist might refer to as (for want of a better phrase) a spiritual experience. Maybe I do not call it spiritual but it is no less real. I think where some see god, an atheist sees nature but we are both in our own ways seeing and experiencing the same thing. I don't know if any of that makes sense.
(Will see if I can work out how to post a photo from my walk).
