Both are just opinions.
Is there proof there is no God? Tangible proof? Archaeological proof?

Also yapping about "angels"' is a red herring. Not all believers in God or the Christ take the Bible literally as fundamentalists. Not all are evangelicals. Not all are snake handlers either.

My point is atheists posting seem to overgeneralize and treat believers as homogeneous. And mock us all because some of us believe certain things.

One question I have is how do atheists cope with fear and uncertainty?  I  take comfort in affirmjng Divine Order in my life: wholeness, harmony, wisdom, abundance and peace. What if anything does an atheist do?[/quote]

I know only one Jew who believes in God.  They used to be a Christian.  They converted.  All the other jews I know tell me that they don't believe any of it.

This is exactly the reason why I think some people are believers - they are generally fearful and are uncomfortable with uncertainty. So they blindly accept fantastical stories that makes them feel better.

Are any atheists fearful? What do they do?

Or does the Atheist Handbook say fear comes from believing in God and without that, no need to be afraid?[/quote]

Following on, to avoid further distractions to Jesus topic is there a link you can give that explains Atheism for Dummies? TIA. [/quote]

Atheists don't believe in god(s). The end.

+1.  And it's important for people to remember that there is a VERY big difference between not believing in a god and saying that an atheist KNOWS or even believes there IS NO GOD.  We don't claim to know there is no god. We just don't believe in one. A PP said there is no difference between saying there is a god and an atheist saying there is no god. There is a very big difference.

Atheists don't really know that there is no GOd, just as religious people don't really know that there IS a god. I, however, an atheist - will often say that there is no God. I don't believe in God.[/quote]

Believers don't all support organized religion in the form of churches, denominations, crazy TV charlatans, cults, whatever. I don't. [/quote]

Good for you!  I bet you think that you're going to live forever in heaven, though, right?[/quote]

I bet you think every believer thinks heaven is an actual place. 
I bet you think every believer thinks that an afterlife is up in the sky.
I bet you think that believers are Christians.

[/quote]

You mean to say that you don't think heaven exists?  That it's not up in the sky? that Christians don't believe in God?[/quote]

Do try to read carefully. Jews believe in God. Jews aren't Christians. [/quote][/quote]

I know only one Jew who believes in God.  They used to be a Christian.  They converted.  All the other jews I know tell me that they don't believe any of it.

So we agree Jews can be believers. At least one!
Actually, Muslims believe in God, too. So it's clear not every believer is a Christian, which some PP seemed to assert.
