Any atheists here who were once believers?

I just thought this was a funny picture.
Funny? It shows a couple of believers out in public attempting to cause more conflict in the world, while the atheist sits back and enjoys a drink and a smoke. How is the atheist militant in that picture? Please explain?
Nothing enforces them. They describe the nature of reality. No enforcement mechanism is necessary.
How would you know god even if you experienced him? To know his nature would require omniscience on your part, which would mean you would need to be a god as well. Many atheists are also former believers, some of them former pastors, so your criticism is unfounded. The different is they are aware they were fooling themselves, and you aren't. Yet.
It's called a blind spot. Atheists have a blind spot. Scientists have a blind spot. It is what it is.
That means the faithful aren't really compassionate, they are pretending to be so out of fear of punishment or fear of embarrassment. You are you're own worst enemy in this debate.
Scientists are making the blind spot less blind with science. You fill it in with unicorns and fairy princesses and call it the same thing. It's sweet, like little girls playing dress-up with their mom's clothes.
Quote me where I said that unicorns and fairy princesses implement the laws of physics. Your argument is off the rails and now you will resort to ad hominim attacks.
That means your argument is losing.
You said spirits are involved. Same thing. I challenge you to prove a spirit isn't a fairy princess. I submit that the laws of physics are governed by the queen fairy princess herself.
A drunk intellectual is better than a sober fool.
Yet, his intellect was far above yours even when he was drunk.
Your argument is non-existent.
OK, you can have your own personal fairy princess.
Aw, Mazulu! Now, fairies, I believe in.
A person’s right to hold their religious beliefs must be respected, but not the belief itself.
