I think that atheism is about rejection - for some people, esp.

It's about rejecting myths and what people consider to be nonsense and supernatural things.

Go ahead and say - that if people didn't come up with those things that atheists wouldn't have to reject them. But people DID come up with those things and people DO reject them. To say otherwise - is disingenuous - I think.

(That doesn't mean that I think it's bad to reject them - I just don't think people are being honest when they say they don't.)

And I can understand why people would NOT want to define all things in nature as "GOD" - because people are bound to think that you are talking about GOD the same way other people are talking about GOD. So it gets confusing.


I don't know if I necessarily believe the the universe is finite. I like the idea that people will at least never know everything - esp. the edges of all of the dimensions.
