I found this answer very interesting. Spoiler alert... it's religious in nature, but for you short attention span types, it's barely over 3 minutes.

That was a pretty solid answer despite quoting from the Bible.

It's funny how people can't comprehend the idea of a force being larger and more powerful than this universe.

I’m glad the Catholic Church finally made up with Galileo Galilei.

The church and science can certainly compliment each other.

Burnem2 is that what you want? Lack of opposing views expressed?

I don't mind the differing viewpoints. What I dislike is when they feel that somehow your belief makes you weak minded, or intellectually inferior. It doesn't.

I’m with you there MACS. But I think there is some oversensitivity too.

Think of it this way, you have deep seeded beliefs. They really don’t.

No, opposing views are fine as long as they are respectful. In fact, they could start their own thread about being atheist/agnostic or whatever. Then I could choose whether I view it or not. I second what MACS had to say.

What I find interesting is that even such great scientists such as Stephen Hawking cannot explain the creation of the universe without using circular logic in his theory of spontaneous creation.

My biggest gripe though, is when you look at Atheistic Governments, whether it be Atilla the Hun, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jung, there is a noticable line that is crossed in terms of human rights violations, genocide, and massive amounts of death.

Maybe not being held accountable for living a crummy miserable existence leads one to do whatever they want to do in Life?

IDK...I've never met an atheist that wasn't an arrogant POS that felt compelled to tell you what they DON'T believe every chance they get. Kinda like vegans...only more slimy and degrading.

I don’t buy the start your own thread part. It fits here just fine.

Alrighty then, let's have it here. I want one of the nonbelievers to defend their ideal. Tell me what's so great about being atheist, how you came to be that way, what YOU believe. Have at it...................

That's the wrong question.

If there is no evidence for a religion the default should be to not believe in it. That isn't "great" and it isn't some "ideal"... it's common sense. To do otherwise should be considered the outlier position which requires defending.
