Atheism doesn't take faith. It destroys it.
Any atheists here who were once believers?

Of course it takes faith to be an atheist.
I suppose in the back of their minds they hope they are right.
and for the most part, thirst
Living Water
John 7:37
Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"…
Possibly, but probably since they may spend eternity with God, He probably prefers to have them in heaven instead of a bunch of irrational "yes men" who will swallow all sorts of biblical nonsense.
SUMMARY: Be at least an agnostic, to get into heaven.
But, He is being intellectually dishonest trying to feed us some gobbledegook about souls and that physics support souls. This is not questioning anything, this is straight forward lying.
There is plenty of evidence to show there are religiously indoctrinated fools who claim they have spiritual experiences, but no such experiences have ever been shown to exist.
LOL. Funny how you equate hysterical laughter and ridicule with hostility and threats. Yes, the subjects have been carefully examined and found to be wanting and comedic.
I for one am not sorry I missed out on fantasies and delusion, which are most certainly not sacred or precious. Yes, your beliefs are a joke.
Now, you're just making up mumbo-mumbo in a vain attempt to sound smart and pretend your ridiculous beliefs have anything to do with scientific understanding. It is very dishonest. Souls have never been shown to exist, they are just another superstition in the long line of superstitions you have swallowed, hook, line and sinker. Hilarious.
Since Christianity is little more than a hate cult, it certainly wouldn't be meaningful to align oneself with that. But, if that's the way you wish to describe yourself, then we can expect a whole lot of conflict coming from you.
Beware mortals for it is I who await you in the afterlife.
Seriously, dude, that is soooo childish. Are you ten years old?
It doesn't seem so. You appear to be an imbecile. "Those invisible barriers" are windows!
@ OP,
I was an Atheist and then became a believer, although that is opposite what you are asking. I suppose many people believe because their parents tell them, but then their rational minds say it cannot be.
My path was a bit different. I was influenced Early on by writings of Harold Sherman and was convinced enough to attempt ESP experiments which worked out extraordinarily well. My first effort made someone write me a letter from another country who said "last night I had a dream that prompted me to write". From then on I continued with this as hobby research and then became a professional psychic researcher, although I am mainly retired.
I understand many here will suspect experimental conditions and mental health, however that is their issues on the matter as positive results really are simple to achieve, although due to the nature of the measuring devices (human beings), the only results can be explained as probabilities and do not match the 100% repeatability required by the scientific method.
If you come to accept psychic / telepathy, then you must also embrace a concept of all minds being connected in some unknown way. If that is true then the possibilities of a mass consciousness or even a god are less hard to grasp. In fact; any belief in telepathy would go hand in hand with a belief in mass consciousness. We are Borg.
Obviously, arguing this further will only attract trolls, so I will likely limit this extract to this one post.

Very cool picture.
Don't listen to that Obama lookalike. I am one you need to worry about.
Threats of Hell - the ultimate hate crime.
geeser, still...no answers... still...puerile inane attempted attacks...still...no indication of open, honest, reasonable or rational logic... still...just preaching...still...???!!!???!!!
BTW, geeser, your "invisible barriers" seem to be "self installed blinders" and and some sort of "fiercely gripped ignorance".
geeser, you do realize that mommy and daddy will probably not mind helping you with the words that are more than 3-letters or 1-syllable in length - do you not?
geeser, 'nuf sed'...yrt??!!??!!
