You can't provide even one shred of proof your "creator" exists. You just as "atheist" as anyone else, zolace.
PS. I'm not an atheist. An atheist strongly believes there is no higher power. I believe there may be an unknown power involved in the Universe's origins, and we just have no clue what it is and the bible is a fable.
A copy of the Bible book of Isaiah was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Outside of minor changes in the forms of the letters, the "old" Isaiah was virtually the same as the one that is used by the Jews today.
Now what kind of deluded people would copy by hand so accurately, something that was simply a fable? When you copy kids' stories by hand over dozens of generations, they change. Something happened way back at the time of Moses that was so earth-shattering that the people of Israel carry the tradition in their minds and hearts, right down to today.
If the Bible were a fable, it would not exist.
So, its just here that you are unhappy. Well, that begets some interesting questions.
Ok, went looking through the link, scanning. Could find nothing about atheists, let alone happy atheists.
So, with Norway being at the top of the list, and (I assume you are correct on this) them having a larger than usual percentage of atheists in the population, you have assumed that some conclusion can be made from atheists on that, yes?
Did you notice what factors were noted in the article that it said were factors in that rating?
To clarify the 'hope' - how would you 'sell' the idea? Humans want both truth and hope - but usually hunger for hope more.
And since there is agreement that not all dictators are evil, do we have an example of a dictator promoting atheism that was not evil?
you are probably right. Noth Korea was a wonderful place before the dictator promoted state atheism. That was when they plummetted into the despair of human rights abuses. If Kim Jong only he let the people have their religion, then he wouldnt have abused them so much. Makes perfect senseAnd since there is agreement that not all dictators are evil, do we have an example of a dictator promoting atheism that was not evil?
The fact other majority atheist nations have a population with low crime and happy people must be the spurious relationship. The fact almost none of the 9% of american atheists are in prison can only mean Satan is helping them avoid capture by the godly police....because clearly they are all without morals and abusers of human rights.
You've had a good run, but today people as stupid as you are a dying breed.
Today, and in the future people understand that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus and Jesus are all the same.
Even today, people know you are a lying sack of shit when you say Jesus answers your prayers. You can't present anything that supports your beliefs.
Can you give us any good reason to believe that you are not just paranoid/delusional ?
And no reasonable person would gather from his posts that rigon is happy - but, then, no reasonable person is making such a claim (rigon may not call himself an atheist either, but, see 2nd sentence above).
You all clearly have anger issues.
Well, clearly you are blind even towards yourself. If there is anyone here who has had several folk point out his issues, it is you, guy.
When you can be honest about yourself, well, then we will see.

The sad part about most Christians is that you are more or less right. A Christian usually holds some form of false beliefs about Who Jesus is, what He looks like, what He meant by the things He said as recorded in the Bible, and about God, His Father. You, at least, don't hold any false ideas about God, because you acknowledge that you don't know Him.
The country with the most atheists also has the happiest people. I already have proven that to you. Norway has ranked 1rst the past five years in a row. http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2013/10/29/the-worlds-happiest-and-saddest-countries-2013/

You are not being honest with yourself, guy. If it was just the Bible you were rejecting, sure. But, you go way beyond that.
Still have not seen any of these happy atheists you speak of. Be they living in a secular state, or one that promotes atheism. I am sure there are some that are happy (they just never come to this board?). However, more likely to find such happiness in a secular state that one that promotes atheism, apparently.
But the bigger question is - are there any joyful atheists? Happiness is more externally affected.

My actions only indicate that I think your bible is a fairy tale. They do not indicate I don't believe in some sort of power in the universe that you or I don't understand.
Now that we have that cleared up...if atheism is bad....how do you explain the happiness of the people and the low crime of the nation with the highest percentage of atheists?
Ready go....you may start continue not answering the question.

I am the happiest person you will ever meet. The life of every party.

Atheism is a complete lie. The atheist has convinced himself that atheism exists. Yet, because the atheist has nothing that proves atheism is true, any more than any other religious person has anything that proves his religion is true, atheism is simply another religion.
The thing about atheism that is comforting to the atheist is, he knows by his religion that there is no hope. Most of the other religions offer some form of hope. Hope not experienced can leave one wondering about the exact form that the hope will present itself in. Because of this, the people of many of the other religions have turmoil about their future hope.
The atheist feels peaceful, because he knows that when it is all done, that's the end for him. You poor, hopelessly deluded atheists!

To clarify the 'hope' - how would you 'sell' the idea? Humans want both truth and hope - but usually hunger for hope more.
And since there is agreement that not all dictators are evil, do we have an example of a dictator promoting atheism that was not evil?

You've had a good run, but today people as stupid as you are a dying breed.
Today, and in the future people understand that the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus and Jesus are all the same.
Even today, people know you are a lying sack of shit when you say Jesus answers your prayers. You can't present anything that supports your beliefs.
Can you give us any good reason to believe that you are not just paranoid/delusional ?
Essentially, NOBODY can give anything that supports his/her beliefs, except for ONE vey basic thing. That thing is, EVERYBODY lives by faith. What I mean is, NOBODY knows for a fact what will happen, even in the next second.
We trust, from experience, that life will remain stable for us. But when we examine history and happenings, we see that very often such trust is misplaced.
When Hiroshima was destroyed by the atom bomb, Japanese people simply couldn't believe what had happened. It was beyond their experience. Their natural trust and faith that today would be similar to yesterday was proven faulty.
Now and again we hear about a jogger in his twenties or thirties, who for no apparent reason, simply falls over dead from a heart attack. We ALL live by faith and trust. NONE of us knows what will happen even in the next second (Hiroshim and Nagasaki). The reason that we feel like we know is because there is an inherent, basic stability in the Universe. It makes us FEEL like we know more than we really do.
Examine the Bible in detail. The history recorded therein contains a thread that runs right from the fall into sin, done by Adam and Eve, to the present. That thread is Jesus and the salvation He provides.
The history and philosophy in the Bible will prove to you that the Bible is truth. But you can't dig out the truth if you don't examine it in detail.

If there are these atheists that are supposedly happy, how come the ones posting on the board here are not?
