Atheism doesn't pertain to beliefs one holds or what one believes. It pertains to what they don't believe. The only characteristic pertaining to an atheist is that they don't hold a belief that a god (or gods) exist.
If the god you're talking about is readily apparent to even atheists, then what real thing in this world is it you are calling "God"?
Please explain how you come to the conclusion that atheists have a fear of faith? Depending on your definition of faith, atheists could have faith in many things.
errrm, I don't think the Scottsmen was thinking about the episode of running the profiteers out of the Fathers house/temple. I think he meant war, violence, forced conversions, state religions, that kind of stuff.
I think Atheist fear being dominated by a religion. But yeas, I agree that Atheist do have faith in things but when discussing religion they suddenly assert that everything the believe is reasoned out in the math lab first.
* But atheist do believe something, they aren't a void. They just have different beliefs about the universe.
.* Atheist can be very dense people, I'm not saying that God is "readily apparent" but everything we know is from God, for "in him we live, move and have our being" but spirit perception is something one has to want

I was a Christian for 40 years and was never remotely dominated by my belief. Therefore, fear of being dominated by it (which sounds like brain washing) was never a factor for me.
Are you dominated by your religion?
That's why I told you once before, you were never a whole hearted disciple of Jesus (if you were you would know it and quite likely still be one) you were simply a member of a religious social club, probably born into Christianity like most people today.
Indeed it is not readily apparent. You have repeatedly failed to provide a rational method of distinguishing what you call "God" from something you are merely imagining, when asked. And Colter, I suggest you stop throwing words like "dense" around too freely unless you want us to point out a certain irony in your statement.
We can all imagine that all we know is "from God" and that "in him we live, move and have our being". One can say this about anything that one imagines. All we know is from Sparky the wonder Unicorn "for in him we live, move and have our being" but spirit perception of Sparky the Wonder Unicorn is something one has to want.
We have found God and he does exist.
The density and shear arrogance of the atheist is that he or she is unwise to the degree...
...that they think that the billions of people who have found God are just imagining things.
You take yourselves to seriously.
When? Where? I'd like to meet him and ask a few questions. He has some 'splainin' to do.
Hey, we're all unwise about most things.
I find it amazing you have the ability to know what people think. I hope you use your special powers for good and not evil.
Really, is it that obvious? I try not to let my serious hang out too much. I'll work on that.
Did you ever completely dedicate yourself to Jesus?
Did you know him?
You could want Sparky yet never find him because he doesn't exist. We have found God and he does exist. The density and shear arrogance of the atheist is that he or she is unwise to the degree that they think that the billions of people who have found God are just imagining things. You take yourselves to seriously.
Gods spirit is inside of you, if and when you ever surrender and get out of your own way, you can find him, he isn't hiding.
"He who would save his own life will loose it, he who will give it up shall find it." Human pride protects the vulnerability of the fragile ego.
