Atheists and Newtonian Physics
It occurred to me the other day that atheists are stuck in Newtonian physics. They see the whole universe as nothing but a giant array of cause and effect relationships. Sooooo outdated!
I think atheists (which I was and sometimes still am) just have trouble accepting things on faith. We're more of a tactile type of people--gotta see it, touch it, feel it, smell it, etc--to believe it exists. Things that haven't been proven are hard to believe. Even if we feel them in our gut. Feelings alone aren't reliable enough. This is why I'm of such a wavering "faith."
I had to do a double-take... this sounds like my Anonymous... (whom I've yet to determine the identity of).
Wow, You know how every atheist thinks? Soooooooo cutting edge!
