I have to give it to believers, their life is easier than ours.

you know why is that, because you try to discern your natural irrationality, basically half of your brain, that way you get grumpy and angry at the world.

I have never met a happy, down to earth atheist

Also it is our irrationality that makes us human, it is our imagination, drive behind our success, no animal is irrational, their brains are not split like ours.

Btw i dont get atheist in one thing, they strongly express their opinion that humans are animals, but complain when i treat them like an animal

But Atheists believe that if you cannot see it, it isnt there.

They lack interest in the spiritual world so this is fine with me except when they get all 'God doesnt exist except my beliefs etc.. blah blah' it gets annoying to me. I will say it is equally as annoying to have seventh day Adventists bothering you on your property with pamphlets you do not have any interest looking at.

I think you are basically illiterate and didn't read what I posted because what you said does not really deal with any of the main things said : the formal logic(logic is the structure rather than the content the 'if you cannot see it, it isn't there' is the content), unfalsifiability, and burden of proof etc.. In fact you are one of the dumbest posters on this forum. Atheists do not simply believe that 'if you cannot see it then it isn't there'. For instance Atheists believe in gravity, dark matter and the Higgs-Boson but you cannot see these scientific things. Also, the de facto atheist does not deny that God exists, outright, rather, this is the default Atheists position :

Very low probability, but short of zero. De facto atheist. 'I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there.'

Basically to say there is a God is a scientific hypothesis about the universe because the universe created by a God would be very different from one without a God. If one properly understands science then one sees that the probability of God existing is very low.

And speaking of animals, god's sheep comes to mind

One type of make-believe that has never been observed in an animal, though, is the sustained relationship with an imaginary other. To the best of our knowledge, no animal has an invisible friend. Still, the likes of Kakama, Kanzi, Viki, and Koko show that even imagination, something that Carl Sagan wrote could "carry us to worlds that never were," is far from uniquely human.


Do animals have imagination?
