Obsessed much?
Little observation: you are insecure about your faith. 👍

So, our atheism is shaky, sort of like reformed alcoholics nervous about falling off the wagon. |

I have no reason to care what they believe.

I have no reason to care what they believe. Good thinkin' 99! Whereas caring about something can be problematic, caring about nothing has few risks. |

I mean they’re being asked to vocally challenge God (whether a fictional being or not) to do horrible things to them and their loved ones, and that alone is upsetting enough to even think about.
That doesn’t exactly prove they believe in God, and the article even says so. The title is just kind of misleading

I think there isn't a god. I've not found a reason to be convinced there is a god. I am not sure there isn't a god. What does that make me?
Hmmm, maybe I'm not an atheist afterall...in which case, I'm safe...I can be confident that I really do not believe in God.

Okay, I didn't read that link because I find the whole notion preposterous. But I am curious as to how YOU would explain the notion of "atheists" believing in God. Because that would make them by definition theists, and reduce your argument to " there is no such thing as an atheist". Is that your proposition? |

The title is just kind of misleading The atheists, like the Christians, were more bothered(sweated more) when invoking God to do horrible things than when instead just wishing something horrible would happen. That’s the interesting finding. As the article says if the subjects asked something completely made up like say “Golden Magic Squirrel” would they still sweat at the prospect? I doubt it. |

Everybody who is open-minded is a little shaky when it comes to their beliefs. Everyone should have doubts about their convictions.... as ironic as that sounds.  |

"Those findings don’t prove that atheists believe in God" I have to admire you for posting an article that refutes the idea of the thread. It saves anybody else from having to refute you. Very efficient of you. |

Uh if I recall, you were claiming scientist don't know the age of the earth, but now they know what they're talking about? So basically you pick and choose whatever science makes you feel good.

There's a big caveat you're missing, people actually DO horrible things in the name of God, the concept of God still has a certain societal stigma even to nonbelievers, so of course they're going to be more bothered by it as opposed to a "Golden Magical Squirrel". I could easily reverse that on to you, you obviously don't believe in Islam, but you would be far more bothered if someone said they're going to start a holy war in the name of Allah as opposed to starting a holy war in the name of leprechauns. |

I guess Cody ought to read his own stories, for this one says "Those findings don’t prove that atheists believe in God" LOL. Believers, btw, disbelieve every god except one - or to put it another way, they carry far more disbelief than belief in the deliberate supernatural. I guess that makes them overwhelmingly atheist then. |

I have no problem accepting most scientific discoveries providing they’re based on empirically observed evidence. It is why I can accept micro-evolution but reject macro-evolution. |
