I get the point you are trying to convey, but as much as I like all of the atheists that have answered my questions with respect. I still feel that just as christians do, they deal with absolutes. Like dont dare mention the word god, even though you just meant to imply the force of a higher power, and not as a man in clouds looking from the sky, they still take on that context of god. I think, and this is strictly my opinion that atheists choose their way of non believing because of a rebellious nature of theirs that seeks the truth. The problem is the questons you seek have no answers, in fact some of the answers can be very contradictive, and with someone who has an intellectual mind blind faith is not enough without proof. Unfortunatley the proof is inside. I think that they have a recognition that there is more than can be explained, but they accept that as being limited knowledge, although at times when they connect with others, or see the angelic face of their children, in that moment they know there is more,.They just cant explain or identify what that more is. I would not worry about it so much, because you are right they are the "be" itself divine. And itself devine has a purpose for the "be"
I wish you well

I've assessed the depth. The shallow end of a wet piece of single-ply is deeper than this question, and furthermore it's total nonsense. I'd ask you to clarify but I don't want the avalanche of schlock. Here's a question for you though, the depth of which you likewise ought to assess before answering:
Atheists clearly "are" - how do you account for that?

The premise that "being itself is divine" would have to be qualified because people might define the divine differently, but in any case divinity must be supernatural and by definition outwith the boundaries of any scientific proof.

This question sounds like the type that freshman philosophy majors ask at university--it makes no sense, has no basis in actual philosophy, and is more than a little annoying.

"Being" is nothing but being (unless you are using the word as in "human being"). As it relates to a state, it is merely descriptive. How is the state of existence "divine"?

Being is nothing more than a verb. Your question has no depth whatsoever.

Simple wordplay isn't an argument against Atheism.

You hypocrite!!!!!!! how is "being" divine?????? Being is to be. You might as well have said that religion is only for Christians and if your not Christian then your not worthy of "being."

Oh boy, they should give people some sort of test before they let them out in public with the English language.

Being is not divine. I did not ask to be born. I was and am a being. No god.
