@David1955 Out of interest I checked the profiles of people who follow my posts. Why they do I don't know but out of 16. 8 are agnostics,7 are atheist and i is a believer.
More atheists than I would have thought'
I have read several posts by people who are struggling to overcome Christian indoctrination. One of the first people to block me was a lady who was upset at the realisation that there was no heaven. I was obviously less than sympathetic so she blocked me.
By the way the original poster said atheists speak about god not "speak to god".
Finally I do not call myself an atheist, I just am, and living in a country where believers are in the minority the onus is on theists to be labelled not the other way round.

@David1955 I guess it depends how you read it. Look at the new posts. There are usually about 50% that have something to do with 'God'. Plus, I wanted to post something that would get a large response (I need points ). I normally post about things I consider important (at least to me and humanity in general). This post proves my point. If I mention God there will be a large number of people who respond, including yourself.

@David1955 I understand your point and many of the points made throughout this post. I just find it a bit bewildering why so many are absorbed by something they say doesn't exist. I personally don't let it into my mind very often. I treat it like the poison it is. I have been to atheist meetings and they are even worse. People talk less about god in church. I try with my questions to get people to look at life differently. It works about as well as trying to convert someone to atheism.

Yep!

That is perfectly it. I suppose some of us also plot against religion too, and you cannot do that to easily without talking about their imaginary fascist in the sky.

This!

I don’t know any doctors that like to talk about disease.

@HoracioMai You might try listening to Dr. Fauci's comments, perhaps CDC, many Internet doctors websites.

@HoracioMai u don’t have any close friends that are docs or nurses .

I am covered . Thank u ma’am ♥️♥️♥️

Yes! These Fantasy’s or lies are repeated so often it becomes their reality. Mental health issues run rampant with psychotic bullshit. The poor man suffers as they give their to false prophets that promise some god will save their souls and live forever in some neverland propaganda.

I have given up trying to reason with those who cannot see reason.

@anglophone Perhaps such cases could benefit from a heavy dose of ridicule? Could at least be cathartic, depending on your personality.

@Rossy92 I and others have found that ridicule merely drives such numbskulls deeper into their own ghettos of irrationality. I must admit to smirking when Jehovah's Witnesses last less than 2 minutes in my company. The last pair ran away from me as fast they could.

@anglophone Option #3 dispassionate, disengaged, dismissal until they go away. Sounds like you aren't absent some such instincts.

Fabulous analogy!

@LovinLarge Agreed

The democrats are obsessed with getting rid of Trump. Hell they’ve been trying to overthrow him ever since he took office. I hope we have 4 more year of his presidency myself.

@Trajan61 that is one sci-fi wish that I hope faulted sooner than later. He too his using the an evangelical platform and push religious rights. Why would I want more of the same garbage. With all due respect I completely disagree. Didn’t we leave one queen to to separate church from government?

@Trajan61 Your choice of words is incorrect. Allow me to educate you.

Democrats have never once attempted to "overthrow" Trump. That word implies an illegal revolt, as when we overthrew George III's dominance. Democrats in Congress impeached Trump, as provided for in the Constitution, which is the law of the land. The Senate then held a trial, also provided for in the Constitution, and acquitted him.

The point of impeachment is not reversing the results of the election, as alleged repeatedly by Republicans. It is accusing a President of high crimes and misdemeanors. Trump will always and forever be known as the 4th president in our history who was impeached, and nothing his defenders say will change that.

@Trajan61 If anything, it's Trump who has attempted to overthrow the rule of law.

Trump has declared himself the nation’s chief law enforcement official. He has pardoned a raft of corrupt officials. He has exacted revenge on those he sees as his impeachment enemies — Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the decorated military veteran and national security staffer; and Gordon Sondland, Trump’s own handpicked ambassador to the European Union — simply because they testified under subpoena to what they knew about the White House’s dealings with Ukraine. He praises foreign dictators and fails to criticize concentration camps and the murder of opposition politicians and journalists; indeed, he seems to envy the powers of the authoritarian.

He has declared that "voting by mail" in states with Democrat governors is going to lead to a rigged election, but "absentee voting" in states with Republican governors is perfectly safe, and as much as announced that he won't accept any election result except "Trump wins"- thereby attacking the underpinnings of our democracy and the peoples' faith in our nation. He calls the media the "enemy of the people" and refuses to see how this leads to pipe bombs in reporters' mailboxes.

Trump has told over 20,000 verified lies since his inauguration- not just exaggerations, but lies. Lies like taking credit for legislation that President Obama signed into law (Veteran's Choice). Lies like claiming over and over that the economy was in ruins when he took office, but he somehow turned it around (job growth was actually slower the first 3 years of Trump's term than in the last 3 years of Obama's presidency). Lies like "It's just one person from China" and "One day it will disappear, like magic".

Trump is at war with the truth. He's at war with democracy. Trump is at war with America.

Here's just one reason why. There are many.

The Bible teaches us that humankind is naturally sinful, i.e. evil. So many faithful subconsciously won't trust anybody. That's why we need armies and police forces, jails and judges.

One more: The Bible teaches people to think dichotomously: good vs evil, night and day, plant or animal, etc. Almost everything is nature is a shade of gray. So 2,000 years later an imbecilic like W, Bush will say: You're either with us or with the terrorists.

One more. The idea that my parents accomplishments are my own. Like D. Trump. We did inherit the sin of Adam and Eve, right?

You can take a far right Evangelical to logic, but you cannot make him think.

@anglophone

He can and does think, but he does so illogically

@Klodzan A point of semantics: if somebody thinks illogically, can he really be said to think?

I practice the same.
