Most Atheists I know are very superstitious.
If your mind is blinded by vices you cannot use reason correctly.

No, I think it's probably more correct to say those who persist in clinging to notions of his existence haven't thought at all.

No. That would not be right at all because I think many of the people who deny the existence of God have thought of it quite a lot. It is not something that they say lightly, I think. I think that your question shows a bit of disrespect for the atheists. Just because a person denies what you know to be true, regardless of what that might be, doesn't mean the person has done it, sort of out of ignorance. That's the same thing many atheists believe about people who believe in God and it's quite inaccurate most of the time when applied by either side.

Don't accept your reasoning there, carl. I don't accept the Christian picture of a single super-human entity which makes demands on a species he never visits.
I've thought of the image a lot over the last fifty or more years, and it doesn't make any sort of sense to me.
I have an entirely different view which I think makes much more sense, but it's quite complicated, and a Christian wouldn't understand it..
But I give you the right to believe what you will. Just give me that right also, and I'll leave you alone.

I majored in theology and philosophy. I thought about it a LOT. My thinking led me to realize I had to force myself to believe things I knew were not true. I am not superstitious. I just believe that the universe is a natural place with no outside influence.

No, I think about it quite a bit and honestly would not be disappointed if I was proved wrong. But the facts are extremely clear that there is no indication of the existence of any deity.

It depends on your definition of 'enough'!!
I was brought up as a catholic, then investigated because I couldn't believe, so I have studied lots of other religious and non-religious beliefs. I came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as god.

Yes, I agree that this is a paradox. No person who has actually sat down and thought about it can see the obvious flaws with this notion of God. However I am also open minded and do not believe that evolution and creationism are mutually exclusive concepts. Think about it.

No. We have thought about it a lot. That's how we came to the difficult conclusion that there is no god. Most people take the easy, culturally accepted belief.

That's a yes and no.
Some have thought it out and are TRULY DISBELIEVERS while some have thought it out and are still questioning because deep down inside their being they have a very WEAK BELIEF and TRULY WANT TO believe but are like that one Thomas who needed proof.
They'll get it.
Just pray that when they do get it that it's not TOO LATE.

Definitely not. What thought process would invariably lead to a belief in God?

That's absolutely ridiculous. You're generalizing about something that you, obviously, know nothing about. Go catch your school bus and leave intelligent thought to the grown ups.
