[QUOTE="Caspian, post: 138608, member: 5962"] [COLOR=Red] [COLOR=Black]Well, therein lies your problem. Your assumptions are all wrong. My atheism was a direct result of a series of logical assertions. Not ingratitude or any life experiences. Atheism just made sense to me, I would hope that most religious people are religious because religion makes sense to them. Not because of gratitude or some live experiences they had. I find it pretty offensive that you think "true" atheists are incapable of feeling gratitude or love and any person in the world who is capable of feeling gratitude or love has to be or become religious (never mind the many "religious" tyrants who were unable to feel either gratitude or love for the most part). PS, what do u mean by "sustain" when you say "[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Red]and those are qualities in which you acknowledge God because there is no direct explanation for how we are sustained.[COLOR=Black]" Sustains in the physical sense, Im sure you know there are many explanations for how we sustain our physical being. Atheists dont believe in a spiritual being (such as a soul, but we do believe in spirituality) so if your arguing that their is no other explanation for why our spiritual being is sustained other then "God." Then any atheist would be quick to point out the circular logic your using to refute any atheist arguments. You say 1: There can be no such thing as atheists because everyone is capable of feeling gratitude and love which are the neccessary conditions for a belief in god. (I say not, because even in the religious sense, Buddhists are an "atheistic religion" they dont have a god. Do you reject the notion that people can be buddhists as well based on similar assumptions?) Even then, if atheists, themselves, reject the notion of god—ur unwilling to take their word for it? Seems very stubburn. I assure you were not lieing to ourselves, and as far as ur original question goes, there have been 3-4 examples in this thread (including my own) suggesting that atheists do not pray during life/death situations. I dont no why ur stubburnly believing we turn to god in moments of despair. You say 2: God is neccesary for our sustainance. If your meaning in a spiritual sense, again im jus gonna let u have this point. Atheists dont believe in sustaining a spiritual soul like entity. We view spirituality as distinct and seperate from the notion of god.

I would contend that all religious people are atheistic with respect to every religion but their own. The atheist only extends this general response from all other religions to the religion he was born into as well, if he was born into a religion at all. [B]Deal with it.[/B] They're are atheists out their, and we dont generally have death bed conversions. Cheers winkingmunda [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
