First of all, learn English.
Second, forget it.
You can argue about it for a thousand years.
And in fact... people have!
You can't prove that god exists, and you also can not prove he does not exist.
You simply end up repeating the same arguments.
'I can't see him so he doesn't exist'
'He exists but you can't see him because he does not want to be seen'.
That's why it's called 'faith'.
Same with the hearth: Sure it's a blood pump. What do you want, a medal for being right?
The point is, if you want to communicate with people about emotions (which to most people are 'things that matter'), you have to accept that they have feelings.
You can't just say 'your heart is a blood pump and your feelings are chemical reactions in your brain, therefore they don't mean anything'. They do mean something to the people involved.
If you don't want to talk about them, go away and eat your blood-pump out.

What you've done here is define atheists who believe in only touchable things. The fact that that is a false definition renders the rest of your argument pointless. We can't touch dignity, shame, beauty, wit or love, but we can confirm their conceptual existence by definition. The kind of "god" that you believe in cannot be confirmed by definition at all - that is, because theists insist that he is NOT metaphorical, but is in fact a real, intelligent being, who created everything, responds to prayer and will look after us in the afterlife, he is rendered too perfect to be taken seriously. So avoid straw men like that in future (a straw man argument is one which is so flimsy to begin with that it is no trouble to knock over) and you might get somewhere.
I have to say also, it's of great amusement to atheists when someone like macruadhi whoops up at the head of a thread like this. It's lovely that someone actually thinks this is a challenging question. Always glad to set people straight.

Emotions don't "come out from a pump". Second, why would an atheist claim your "heart is broken"? Third, you say the "heart is just a blood pump" (not a feeling pump), and then ask why feelings come from a pump. I honestly don't understand.

The heart being thought of as the seat of affection is a fairly recent phenomenon. The ancient Greeks believed that the liver was the seat of emotions.

"My heart is broken" and "I love you from all my heart" are just expressions. They are not literal biological explanations.
Probably the most ridiculous lie about atheists, spread by ignorant Christians, is that they only believe in "touchable" things.

that is just an expression, the human brain is the most complex natural object on earth.
And atheists claim it evolved naturally, and i know it's easy to just say god made this god made us, but no more for excuses!
truth is much more relevant then lies, we don't need to seek for simple answers to give life a meaning, the truth can be way better!
we say it evolved! everything is a product of natural evolution.
scientist have studied it for years and there are proofs! unlike any proof for a "creator"
only that YOU are not aware of these proofs, so go and look them up and then see if u dare coming back here and posting up this question again!!

Feelings come from your brain. The heart has nothing to do with it.

those sayings are just metaphors... there are zillions of them...such as "he grabbed the bull by the horns" or "that sheds some light on the question"...they are not literal sayings..
