Man created the concept of god, of course people who are convinced of this "feel him". If they don't they lose their sanity in their beliefs.
If he really was all around us, I want him to show himself to me. None of that touchy feely stuff, I want to see him. I want physical evidence of his existance and until that time comes, your an idiot for saying "all atheists will never change their mind". It sickens me that people think god is so logical yet cannot prove him without the bible.
I don't care if you believe in him in all that, but the minute you attack on people like me for not believing, don't be surprised at the outcome

Here's why.

The evidence indicates that the personal god is a manifestation of the ego, which explains a plethora of theistic tendencies, including their typical dislike of atheists, who theists subconsciously perceive to be rejecting a part of themselves.

Quote from this article written by physicist Victor Stenger:
Victor Stenger: Absence of Evidence Is Evidence of Absence
"This doesn't bother most believers because they have heard many times that "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."However, just repeating a statement over and over again does not make it true. I can think of many cases where absence of evidence provides robust evidence of absence. The key question is whether evidence should exist but does not. Elephants have never been seen roaming Yellowstone National Park. If they were, they would not have escaped notice. No matter how secretive, the presence of such huge animals would have been marked by ample physical signs -- droppings, crushed vegetation, bones of dead elephants. So we can safely conclude from the absence of evidence that elephants are absent from the park."

If some truly doesn't believe anything .. then its a lie there allowing into there life!!!! because if someone who doesn't believe in something is believing there is nothing therefor they believe something?? lol get it?
on the other hand.. if someone lashes out on God saying there is none may be because they have allowed so much hurt and bitterness into there own hearts!! truly is so sad!!

This is the first time I've been on CC in months. Different players same game. Basebool, you have a strong opinion for someone so young. In all the textbooks, or telescopes you will never find the answer of life. Nobody can officially create a protein. The complexities of the simplest life and how they function still baffle experts in the field. So without any proof, and I dare say any, of macroevolution can anybody deny the existence of creation. God left His fingerprints. They are all over you. How you were created, your ability to create, just your cardiovascular system is a marvel let alone your neurological system. The chemistry involved in how your body stores fat, creates antibodies and adapts to different climates. This isn't a happy meal toy. It is engineering mastery. If you decide to ignore the lack of transitional fossils at least question if all these changes took place over billions of years, why has their been a lack of mass mutations in your lifetime. To go from a single cell to a human would take billions upon billions of failed attempts continually happening around the world every second for trillions of years then what just stop? Leave no remains of dogmen and monkeyfish? To believe in the lack of a creator alone would take more faith than any Christian has in God. Once you accept that hey, if I was created, then why? It doesn't take long to find the evidence that Christ was the only Messiah foretold and delivered. You can't just read a chapter or two out of a book and decide it doesn't make sense. It's a whole story. The Bible needs to be understood completely as a whole. Now to answer the question what do I think of atheists. I think mostly they are just like us only misguided. They have zeal for their faith as we do. They think they are right like we do. They get a little heated when challenged like we do. Perhaps if we were more like Christ and less like them they too would see why we follow the only True God and His Son Jesus Christ.
