[QUOTE="Eclectic, post: 6171, member: 572"] When I was smaller, I would always feel that there was some sort of loving force but I didn't know what it was. But it was not like I worshipped this force. I still don't. I try to live in harmony with it and be happy. Now I give it a name, I call it Divinity. I understand not all people feel this and there could very well be genetic reasons for some people being spiritual and others not. Another thing that bothers me is the way religious people are quick to shoot down Atheists. It is merely foolishness, ignorance and superiority complexes that end up making such claims. [size=2]To an Atheist, it is as if you're asking them to believe that the toothfairy is real. To an Atheist, there is nothing to believe, everything is as it appears to be. This is what I've learned from speaking to Atheists. And also, many Atheists have "become" (b/c some people are born without an inclination to believe in something) that way for quite a few reasons: 1. They had religion shoved down their throat and constantly creeping upon them by people who supposedly revered a loving being. It soon became a burden to even think about. 2. They see all the hatred in the world and wonder how people can believe that there is a Higher Being for good when all these bad things happen. The believe people become "hypocritial" when they who believe in this/these Beings and turn around and do horrid acts such as killing or things less horrid such as a simple lie as soon as they leave church/temple grounds. 3. They see it like how I described before this list...as something we don't have to try to put faith into. Like how many religious people would say the tooth-fairy is not real. That is how Atheists see God. I wouldn't think they're self-centered. If you understand them and how they feel, then you wouldn't think they were self-centered. From what I've learned from speaking with them, they think it's the religious people who are self-centered because they always seem to think their ways are right. It is because of religious hatred why there are wars (name one war that didn't include some reference to religion). But when you really boil it down, everyone thinks they're right most of the time. Right? So I would take that claim (that Atheist lack mission and focue) with a grain of salt. They just lack faith, and it is something that religious people need to stop complaining about and worry about their own spirituality and not others. That's why we have so many wars, pure stupidity.
