The whole is sacrificed by the idealistic pony game its individual parts play amongst one another, trading bits of their borrowed power back and forth as they attempt to garner their own force, not willing to give up their individual pleasures for the progress of the whole, because not all of them believe there's a future for the whole.

Please tell me who my god is then...because religion requires a belief in a supernatural power....
Oh wait- you're right! I believe in MYSELF! I am super and natural~
And maybe the atom, the God-particle, UFOs, and the controlling mythological narrative known as science.
Are you willing to put your convictions to the test by doing chakra meditation for a few months and see if something happens with your body?

Atheism is a religion of war. It wars on other religions around it, making fun of people in an attempt to make them appear backwards for the sake of ridicule, but more often than not the religion of choice to attack always primarily seems to be Christianity.

Sinners love to deny existence of God to justify their sins.
It has been happening for ages. Nothing new.
God has given humans the power to act freely. This power is not given to animals and plants though they have the same soul as humans have. Why? Because animals and plants are lives of punishment for souls who were once sinners in human form. Souls receive punishment from God, though humans do not realize.
God stays hidden from human's view; by His own powers. God does not want souls to know about Him or realize His powers easily. This is the way it is. So it is far easier to sin for humans than to do good deeds.
Christianity is no guarantee that a human wont sin; and atheism is no guarantee that a person will always sin; though a sincere Christian is less likely to sin than an atheist.

Atheism is not a religion. And it's not about war. It's about people who choose not to fill their minds up with biblical old dribble. Like the days of old. I would rather be called a Free Thinker VS Atheist. Freedom From Religion Foundation can send you all some really nice stuff. I get a newsletter each month, And in this news letter they have the the black collar crime watch. PAge after page of religous people, preachers, priest.s rabbis, all doing nasty, nasty things. all in the name of the Lord.
