"There are no atheists in foxholes"

There are no atheists.

Atheists believe in God, but just believe in what he is, rather than
what
people say about him.

Some people call themselves atheists, but they don't even know what
the
word
atheist means.

People use words that they don't understand to try to sound
impressive.

Well this should impress you, as you are about to learn what an
atheist
is:

"Atheism is the world of reality, it is reason, it is freedom.
Atheism
is
human concern, and intellectual honesty to a degree that the religious
mind
cannot begin to understand. And yet it is more than this. Atheism is
not
an old
religion, it is not a new and coming religion, in fact it is not, and
never has
been, a religion at all. The definition of Atheism is magnificent in
its
simplicity: Atheism is merely the bed-rock of sanity in a world of
madness."
[Atheism: An Affirmative View, by Emmett F. Fields]

Emmett's last line is just for you !

People try to define things, but they often don't succeed.
An atheist, rather, is one whom believes in what God is, rather than
what
men say about him.
So there is no such thing as an atheist.


So we're all figments of your imagination!
Why are you talking to people that don't exist, Mark?
More voices inside your head?
Get help now.

The people here exist, but their atheism does not, so there are no
atheists.


How do you know what we believe or don't believe?
What psychological qualifications do you hold to be able to tell us what we
believe?
I'm sorry if your mindset doesn't allow for reality, but that is what we
are....atheists.

Now go away and talk to your invisible non-existent friend and leave us
alone.

Smiler,
The godless one
