Right. I pity the atheists. They have simply given up in their search for God. They border on deep despair. I really should pray for them more. At least they have found a sort-of peace in their despair.
Why Pity? As a self proclaimed religious person, I find it hard that you understand our mindset.
I am sure my mindset is different to other Atheists, so what makes you think we are missing anything.
We just refuse to believe in your beliefs.
Your pity is purely your attempt to place yourself in a higher stance to justify your own beliefs.
Your mindset sticks a whole lot of your common sense thinking on the shelf. That's part of the reason why you find it hard to believe I understand your mindset. If your thinking wasn't so much on the shelf, you would understand your own mindset, and would easily see that God exists.
It isn't that you refuse to believe in my beliefs that is important. You simply refuse to believe your own senses, and the laws of science. It's amazing you are even stable enough to communicate in this forum.
My statement of pity is a general pity. Since you intentionally refuse to look at scientific laws, and refuse to consider the wonders and depths of nature, the thing that is reality for you is a religion, and more like a cult. The general pity becomes a thing of disrespect, because there is nothing to respect in someone who ignores reality. If you looked into the scientific laws that I present, you would see God... as you would if you really considered that miraculous event that we call nature.
Rather than do those things, every time you you see or hear the word "God," you immediately jump into a religion mode regarding God, rather than look to see the proof and evidences. Get it through your head. When I am talking about the existence of God, I am not talking about one of the gods/Gods of any religion. I am talking about the existence of Something in nature and science that fits the definitions of God better than the definitions do.
The idea of a Big Bang causing the complexity of the universe should move Big Bang into the classification of God right there. Why? Because entropy says that things are wearing out and breaking down. This means that Whatever made life, intelligence, emotion, mind, and all sorts of other complexities, had these complexities stored up within itself so that It could make them in the first place. And because of thousands of years of entropy, the Whatever that made all this had all these things within itself way greater than what they exist around us now.
The whole Big Bang line of thinking shouts "GOD." Yet many of the scientists who agree with that line of thinking simply refuse to see the magnitude of the greatness of God. They have shut down a portion of their mind, intentionally, for who knows what reason.
