Re: Logic in an atheistic worldview
If I ever found out there was a god, I certainly wouldn't jump off a bridge. I might even become more religious than you are now.
This is what amazes me about theists who try and contemplate the mind of an atheist. As if all atheists have heathenistic reasons for refusing to conform. Most atheists are atheists for the exact same reasons you might not believe in Nessie, Yeti, or Ogres. It is not some conscious effort to rebel. It's just that there are no legitimate reasons to believe in such things. What I was trying to get at with my question, was that if there ever was a reason to believe in god, I honestly don't think most atheists would be upset. They would simply change their beliefs. If god was disproved however, I doubt most theists could handle it.

Exactly, and I'll let Lestat clarify what he meant,because I think he meant otherwise-again based on the context of his post.
