We know we are going to die and we're ok with it.
We don't have a need for comforting fantasies about what happens after death.
We don't reach out to imaginary friends for help.
We enjoy learning about our world.

We don't blame fanciful creatures for bad unfortunate events.

Faith can get neither to truth nor to justice
The idea that one can be certain, without proof, that God exists, if applied to the practical matter of administering justice would certainly have dire consequences. Imagine a juror that by the same standard of thinking decides the guilt or innocence of an accused. If evidence and logic were disregarded in the belief in God, it can also follow that they would be equally unnecessary in the prosecution of a juridical case.
Since we know that justice can only be served if there is no compromise between reason and faith, we are likely to trust the person who consistently follows reason. For if we believed that it were possible to pursue the truth by mixing reason with the sentiment of faith and cast aside the unyielding evidence of unquestionable facts, both justice and truth would become a mere matter of opinion.

you are in a state of denial, and your okay with that.
you are still in a state of denial, the fantasy you believe is that you will cease to exist, not true!
you insult those who disagree with you and reach out for an imaginary explanation of our existence.
you enjoy calling people names if they happen to disagree with you. You believe that you are more educated then those who disagree with you. You don't have a clue.
your belief that makes you sure you are smarter than everyone else, makes you arrogant and annoying people. Pride leads to destructive behavior.
You have proven the Bible to be true because there are so many verses about you.(and your end)

To an athiest, atheism makes the most sense. Not all religions place blame on bad or "wrong" things on some evil spirit, just one or two do that really..

It seems well adjusted if there is supporting evidence to show that it is a valid viewpoint.
Most atheist have a problem with "contempt without prior investigation". They assume their position is valid without actually investigating other positions. Without having searched for deity, they assume none exists. Without investigating well-documented cases of reincarnation, they pass all such research off as new-agey nonesence. By discounting particular scripture, they believe they've disproved all scripture.
This isn't all atheists, but it is many. In truth, there is no more evidence to support a position of atheism than there is for any particular religious set of beliefs.
It's well-adjusted if it's well thought out. For most people, this isn't the case.

In my opinion, Deism is the most well adjusted position.
We are similar to Atheist's, except we agree to disagree with others, and we maintain a concept that a "creative source" exists.
We don't attempt to know how to define the creative source.
Nor do we dismiss the fact that if we don't know everything about everything.....perhaps nobody knows everything about everything.

i don't think it does, because even if there is no god ( or whatever someone belives in ) the universe was scientifically created isn't it nice to think maybe after death you'll be somewhere not just in some graveyard for hundreds of years where unless your someone who was famous will hardly ever get visited? and just because your an athiest does mean you can insult other religions and call what they believe in "imaginary friends". your such a bastard. you think just because some one is another religion your have the right to insult them i just.. what the hell is wrong with you??????????????????????????????????

You make five statements (assuming that your question is rhetorical).
You state five inalienable truths.
Good clear thinking.
