Stream of thoughts: Atheism and God Atheism is also a religion. Nothing of what you say can change atheists’ faith. Because atheism isn’t really a proof of one’s high intelligence but a form of close-mindedness. Atheists can only understand their language – a language that doesn’t use the words “God”, “Miracle”, “Prayer”. They cannot translate the language of theists into their language and vice versa even though what the both are saying is just the same. In this sense, atheists and people with blind faith to their religions are very alike.So what precisely are we atheists close-minded about?
What is God?So... as an atheist, I'm close-minded about a concept the author cannot explain!?
Someone who directly grants your wish? I don’t believe in that God either.
Someone who is up there on the clouds, monitoring each of us? I don’t believe in that God either.
Someone who looks like a human but powerful? I don’t believe in that God either.
Someone who can literally multiply the number of breads? I don’t believe in that God either.
Someone who will punish or reward you after your life here on Earth is done? I don’t believe in that God either.
The word God is so cliché we almost don’t think about its meaning anymore but automatically believe in the meaning given by what majority of the society think it means.
Ask yourself. What is God?
<facepalm>

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
