"The only way you could be a true atheist, is if you have never heard the word God, and you have no inner feeling that there is one. The thought has never crossed your mind.
I hate it when an atheist tries to portray himself as someone like that, when it is just not the case."
What do you mean by heard the word of god , by this do you mean the bible ? or the hindu texts ? or the saga's about odin and thor ?
the physical book the bible is a material product of human hands , the papaer the binding the ink are all man-made , iyt is only belief that enpowers the words as the words of god ...
to an atheist its a cultral historic /myth text
to encounter the "word of god " must be a spiritual event and would make a belive out of any one .
atheist just do not make any conection to the religious experence , in the same way as some people feel great passion for a football term and some dont.,
In the same way you cannot be logical about why some one has faith you cant look for a logical reason that some one is an atheist .. they just are ..
