What atheists don’t get is that the IDEA of God is a fact. They reside in the smugness of their argument that “you can’t prove there is a God.” They overlook the importance of the idea of God and are therefore pathetic. The ones who attack believers are...well, let me just say I’d like to pinch their damn heads off.

I appreciate what you're intimating, but it actually goes deeper than that.

Atheism is a religion in its own right. The premise of an atheists argument is dependent upon an anti-supernatural bias.

By definition such bias is illogical. That notwithstanding, by definition scientists must eschew supernatural explanations with respect to rigorous proofs.

I'll concede the fact that a certain smugness is implied. Atheists afterall, based on the basis of their being athiest, are vastly intellectually superior to those who subscribe to the notion of the supernatural.

Can you imagine Cortez showing up in the New World with a single M-16 and vast quantities of ammunition? With a single common ordinary tool, he could've translated the supernatural ability of penicillan into a vast empire where a single potatoe would cost currently $100 in gold or even more.

One of the premises of atheists is that the overwhelming perspective of virtually EVERY civilization since the dawn of history has embraced supra-natrualism in some form, fashiom or practice; such notion is antiquated and superfluous to reason, and a rational view of the universe. It would appear that modernist enlightened philosophy would require the notion of oblivion to become paramount. That on its face smacks to be no less than Nirvana.
