Lol…he’s a buffoon? You made a useless argument in this post…so who is the real buffoon? Tell me if there is a argument with this post of yours and I’ll gladly discuss it, for now it’s just nonsense.
so…you are not an athiest…why couldn’t it be fear that refuses to admit we are pwerless…why couldn’t it be fear that keeps us feeling like we actually have an ounce of control???
Self-hypnosis, and formats of denile – are a complex subject. The amount of reasons and emotions which can cause someone to feel powerless, or not admit a feeling of powerlessness… these things would take a long time to list.
Most atheism is not about fear, it’s about materialism and disgust with spiritual stupidity/dogma. “Atheist” culture has allot to do with “critical thinking”, but, I’m just talking about the avangelitical atheists.
Polytheism, which is a sort of theism, goes like this:
“Higher beings exist…”
Poof, pretty simple. Not much to do with fear or love, just a realization of much potentiality for the existence of higher beings.
I’m not sure how to answer your question correctly. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard fearing can cause atheism… An atheist would have more to fear than a theist, this is why most atheist are humanist.
Wouldn’t it be possible that we would choose man over God because it is easier. Isn’t there less to fear in familiarity. We all have a lot of experience at being human.
