What has that question in the link got to do with this question? Explain.

The explanation is in your other question. The attitude of superiority in an unprovable opinion is a common thread among atheists.

I don’t see myself as superior because I see equality in people. I think you misunderstand me and where I’m coming from.

Your question on people "believe in imaginary things" proves your disdain for believers, IMHO. Has nothing to do with any equality,

Dismissing people’s imaginations is not disdaining them. I see them as people with a certain mind that holds them back from real life situations.

Your assumption that their "imagination" is invalid is disdain and disrespect. It is the main reason atheists are disliked by believers. Contrary to the atheist opinions, they don't have all the answers, only opinions they cannot prove.

I don’t assume anything. It is logical thinking to dismiss a person’s imagination and still respect them as a person. The problem with believers is that they don’t acknowledge atheists as people because they are preoccupied in their head and don’t show respect for those with an independent mind. Believers expect others to believe what they believe in which has always been the case. I have been listening to people’s imagination for a long time unconvinced by what they say. Many people talk where the sun doesn’t shine not making sense. When things don’t make sense, they’re not true. There will always be conflict between people in the world with atheists and believers unfortunately because they are not on the same page as each other. There are 2 types of minds in people which is the conscious mind and subconscious mind. Whichever side a person’s mind is on is up to them. There are those who see things as they really are and others in a fantasy where their minds are playing tricks. For both types of people to coexist means corruption among each other.

No it isn't. It is simply egotistical to assume yours is the only possible solution. Believers acknowledge atheists as people, we just don't accept your theories on our spirituality. Atheists want us all to follow their beliefs, many times on pain of prison or death. Reference communist dictators who tried to stamp out religion among their population. I don't care what you believe and I would not ask you to believe what I do, or what a muslim does or a buddhist or a hindu etc. Atheists however demand we follow their "reality" as though they can actually prove their "reality to be factual. They cannot. This is where their disrespect and disdain comes in, because they cannot convince many to follow them.

Being realistic is not egotistical. Reality is for anyone to tap into which people see differently. I don’t expect anyone to follow my mindset. I don’t like to see anyone in pain and I get affected by death as it can be hurtful to lose someone. I actually like to show I care about how others feel. You don’t know me personally and you assume the worst in me just because I’m an atheist. Not all atheists are bad since we differ in nature. Atheism is an awareness which some people don’t understand and I don’t force anyone to see things my way as that would be controlling. I don’t make demands. As I said before I respect believers as a person but what goes on in their head is their own business which I’m not stupid enough to follow them. I think you and I are not on the same page as each other and I don’t think we will reach an understanding which will lead to an argument which I don’t want to happen.

There you go again. You claim you are realistic which means believers are not, all according to atheist ego. You claim you know reality and believers don't, more atheist ego. I don't know you but I have seen your questions and answers here for years and I know that the atheist ego exhibited is a classic reason for believers to classify you with the other atheists who smugly try to inform us of "reality. "

I said in my previous comment that reality is for anyone to tap into. That means anyone with an imagination can wake up at any moment to see things through properly. Ego is nothing to do with it. Reality is on the outside of our shell which can often be misunderstood by those who are trapped in their own head and don’t know how to be open minded. I don’t have much self esteem in myself so ego has nothing to do with what we are talking about which you keep bringing up. I know my own reality and I suggest others find their own reality to have some sense of awareness including believers. Whichever side a person is on whether they are atheist or believer, reality is there for everyone. People in general have their own perceptions of things even when some of them have their heads on cloud nine because at some point in their life they will come across a situation that alerts them to take action if someone is in danger for instance. Some people will have difficulty listening to someone who has something to say that makes sense because they are busy in their head shutting themselves off from someone else’s piece of mind due to selective hearing.

Of course, you and the other atheists are the arbiters who and what is "proper "and "reality. Pure ego. Your last statement describes your answers and questions on religion and atheism and American politics succinctly, IMHO "Some people will have difficulty listening to someone who has something to say that makes sense because they are busy in their head shutting themselves off from someone else’s piece of mind due to selective hearing."

Having a sense of reality is nothing to do with ego. Anyone can have some sense of reality regardless of whether they are an atheist or believer. As I said for the third time now, reality is for anyone to tap into regardless of who they are but I don’t think you’re hearing me out on that otherwise you would not be saying to me about ego. I think we should just leave each other alone on this topic. You have your views and I have mine so just leave it at that if you want to keep the peace. I had a similar discussion with another user on Answerbag last year and I ended up just ignoring her and she hasn’t bothered with me either. The discussion with that user on the topic went on for months. I think it’s best to stick with our own views rather than engage any further so as it’s not like a repeat with that other user.

I hear you clearly. You as most other atheists do, want to tell the rest of us what is "reality" and it annoys yu that believers don't accept your theory of reality as facts. You still can't prove you're right.

I’m not telling you what is reality. I’m saying reality in itself is for anyone. I’m not telling anyone how to use their eyes but physically seeing something in front of your own eyes is reality. You think I am wrong but you just don’t like to listen to someone else’s views who is different from yours. I’m just pointing out and that’s all. I don’t force my views on anyone. When someone talks about their views on reality, it’s up to the listener to understand where they are coming from. By showing an understanding is part of communication. It takes ignorance to not show an understanding when someone has something to say on reality because the person not understanding likes to block themselves off from the other person. I’m referring to a mental block.

Ah yes, so now I'm too ignorant to understand your reality eh? I have a "mental block"? Look back thru your index of questions and comments and see who doesn't actually like to listen to "other people's views" who is different from your own. Most recently your rants on American politics. You only want to hear from people wh agree with your take on things. That is pretty obvious by how you ask a question then provide the answer you're looking for.

I’m saying you don’t understand me in other words and that you don’t have to see things my way because we are all different people with different minds. I like to be open to other people’s views and opinions. I don’t rant about American politics so what you perceive as a rant from me is a misunderstanding on your part since I express my thoughts on the subject without ranting. I know the definition of a rant but that’s not what I do. I know a rant when I hear one but it’s not coming from me. I like to listen to different views from people to give myself an understanding in people.

You have spun some spectacular rants over American politics. I know a rant when I see one too. That however is not the reason I answered your question. The answer is most people DON"T think atheists are evil. Many that I know think atheists are simply close minded with a superiority complex.

Not all atheists are closed minded with a superiority complex. I like to be open minded since I take on board many things and like to explore which a close minded person would not do. I do not feel superior from others because I see equality in people. It just shows how some people think of atheists is partly wrong because people think differently about things and have different minds. There are people who like to try to get inside someone else’s head and assume what that person thinks so there would be no reason to stereotype people for how they think. I don’t care about what others think of me because they can be wrong and whatever they have to say about me will go in one ear and out the other ear.

Oh no. You are the close minded type of atheist for sure. Your Q&As here reflect that you think your opinions are the only right ones and people that disagree with your opinions are delusional. I know that not all atheists are close minded, but you certainly are regardless of your denials.

Here's a good example; "When a person’s moment has come, they are gone forever and do not come back to life. That is the reality of it. Anyone who thinks we return after death are delusional because we are not zombies which belong in the movies. The Earth will continue to spin when a person is gone forever which is the life outside a person’s shell." Note that you designate disagreement with your opinion as "delusional"

Well, you’re wrong because you don’t know my mind unless you try to get inside my head which will never happen. You are not in a position to tell me what type of mind I have. You sound like a control freak without realising it. Just because I don’t care what anyone thinks of me doesn’t mean I am close minded. I’ve had enough of people putting me down mentally telling me what type of mind I have. You would not like it if I tell you that you are close minded. At least I’m not the type of person who tells others what type of mind they have. As I said you’re not in a position to say that to me. Do you want me to go against you like others in the past who have put me down? If someone disagrees with my opinion it doesn’t necessarily mean they are delusional so I don’t know where you got that idea from. I’m not in denial. How would you feel if I say you’re in denial? Think before speaking and how someone else feels instead of being insensitive in your comments towards me. I’m saying how things are in my view when I answered that question you’re referring to. You don’t seem the accepting type with my views. Nearly anything I say is delusional and in denial according to you. It sounds like you’re against anything I say even with past answers.

Oh please! All my info on you comes from your own words. I'm not a "control freak", I simply answered your question. You are the type of person who tells people they are "delusional" if they disagree with your opinion. You only want answers to the questions you ask that agree with you. You don't accept others views because you say they are delusional. I NEVER said you were "delusional". That is your word, not mine. You use it frequently. You used it in the answer I quoted , and you used it in the question I put in the answer to this question. It's true, I disagree with your take on American politics, so what? I disagree with many actual American voters too.

When someone disagrees with me, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are delusional. You don’t know me that well at all because I listen to different views from different people. It’s ok to disagree with others because we all have our own opinions. The word “delusional” is not my word because I didn’t invent the word.

I only attribute it to you because you frequently use it when describing others who disagree with your own opinions. Sure, you'll listen to different opinions, then dismiss them as delusional if they don't concur with your own beliefs, which is why I used the example of the wording of your own question to answer your question on atheists.

I don’t see everyone as delusional if they disagree with me. I’m not dismissive of different opinions. Belief is a different thing altogether. I don’t create any beliefs. I like to gain knowledge which is beyond belief with the help of logical thinking but there’s no need to go on about how I think because we have been down that road in past comments. If I disagree with an opinion that is my own conclusion. Everyone will agree and disagree with each other. It’s part of communication.

But, if we disagree with your opinions, we MUST be delusional, according to your own Q&As anyhow.

No, that’s not how I roll.

Sure it's not. Better go back and modify a bunch of your Q&As then, because your own words say different, IMHO

Not really. It’s just a case of misunderstanding
