I think that atheists want to invent some kind of telescope with a powerful magnification that lets them see beyond space.
And if they see God winking at them and saying: Peace, Son of mine.
They wouldn't believe in Him anyway.
Yes, this is my last question for now. Soon I will come up with more questions for my personal amusement.

That would be seriously cool!
Do they sell these at The Discovery Store?

Most rational people require at least a small amount of evidence before they would take something to be absolute truth. I could tell you the universe was crated by giant invisible giraffes, would you believe me? There is just as much evidence to support that theory as the one about the guy who lives in the clouds with the beard... absolutely none. You believe in god because of what people have told you. I believe in the chaotic natural world because that is what I see around me every day. When I look through a telescope I see so much beauty in reality, stupid ideas about that god guy tend to slip my mind.

I certinly believe that "God" is possible, gods are even more likely.
The kind of god who takes a personal interest in us and our day to day lives is improbable. Unless God is a soap opera junky.
Maybe he is facinated by al the little people running around doing all the silly things, kinda like a kid at an ant hill.

I've never known an atheist to have a criterion or proof test (even hypothetical one) by which to prove God's existence. Anything offered as evidence can be accommodated to a skeptical mindset, even personal experiences and apparitions. In philosophy of science, this is called the under-determination of theory.

To answer your question; No, Atheists do NOT expect to see God through a telescope.

An atheist does no longer have faith in a god. A/theist. The prefix 'a-' ability 'devoid of'. as a effect, they are in a position to have faith something they like- yet to stay interior the confines of their very very own definition, they can't have faith in a god.

Funny! Theists used to say god is in the sky. Then we made telescopes and flew to space..no god's there! The bible even says god dwells in the sky. Now that we know god is not in the sky, they have pushed him to the edge of space or in another dimension even. Every time science advances and lets us test another one of their absurd claims..they simply move the goalposts.

What makes your God right and Buddha not ? You have a book, they have a book. What makes the Hindu goods not the correct religion? The problem is you put yourself in a "I'm right and everyone else is wrong unless they agree with me" point of view.

Atheists do not expect to see god in any form since they do not believe in god. (I rather think they would be shocked to see god)
I am happy you are so easily amused.
When you say god you apparently mean god as person, which I would be very shocked to see as well. God is that which runs through all things, and therefore I see God all the time in all things. (granted at times it is harder to see than other times) I do not believe in god as person.

Congrats....with every passing posting youre sounding more and more stupid.......
How can a powerful telescope see something that doesnt exist???? If I want to see God, Ill smoke some crack and look through a kaliedescope....Id have a better chance at seeing him then, as I would be in a drug induced state.....
