Atheists, if one day you hear me say 'I told you so', will you be happy? [Spirituality & Religion]
But I dont think you'll get to say the same to me.

Do you think I actually like being an atheist? I fucking hate it. I WANT to believe in God. I wish I could trust in a heavenly afterlife, continuation after death, the idea that a morally perfect savior is watching over me and that good will prevail. I WANT you to be right. I just can't bring myself to actually think it's true. If you get to say "I told you so" one day then I'd be very happy.

I've got good news for you, you're not an atheist. As long as you're alive, you believe and you'll always have faith.

@GodSpeed63 Atheism is the lack of belief in a god. I lack belief in a god. Therefore I am an atheist.
If this upsets you, you may want to speak to the folks over at Merriam Webster.

Atheists are dead in the ground along with atheism. You're not dead yet, so you do believe in some type idol and have faith in that idol. Idols are false gods that take the place of the one true God, Yahweh, on your heart.

@GodSpeed63 Atheism is not the lack of a belief in false idols, now is it? You can accuse me of worshiping as many false idols as you like, and you might even be right. But having faith in an idol is not theism.

You were right the first time, so was I. As long as you're alive you'll have faith like everyone else.

@GodSpeed63 Possessing faith does not make one theistic. Possessing faith in a god does.

You still have faith in a god whether you realize it or not.

@GodSpeed63 No, I don't. You making something up and telling me that I believe it doesn't make it true. Your entire argument for this deluded "nobody is an atheist" idea revolves around the premise that everyone holds faith in something, whether that be a god, an idol, a concept, whatever. But theism is not faith in something. It's specifically faith and belief in a god. Faith, belief, trust, in an idol or otherwise, is not theism.

@GodSpeed63 what makes you think your God is the right one? Also you claim he's loving and merciful, yet brings death and disease. He was fine killing the first born of Egypt and the slaughter of the Amalekites. That's not just nor merciful. At least my God stands for love, compassion, consciousness and order.
