If you are sitting in a room with a lightbulb and the bulb dies, do you fix it or sit in darkness?

So you acknowledge that something will make light shine once again right? You don't sound too atheist to me right now..

I leave the room and go do something else.

Funny, if a bulb goes out, a human who can retrieve a lightbulb, which is made from plastic and wire, and electricity to go through a conceived network invented by another human years ago, all that to get the light back.
Do you see an individual at work? I don't and find the theory of an individual (male) creator illogical.

No. I clap my hands and god himself descends from the heavens and changes the bulb.
What is your point?
To live as a christian means not taking responsibility for your own actions, instead preferring to claim that you were born that way and some guys death exonerates you from wrong doing. A christian would sit in the dark and pray. An atheist on the other hand would prefer to take responsibility for their own actions and change the damn light bulb themselves. I call it being an adult.

Oh I love riddles!
The light bulb didn't die, as it wasn't alive in the first place. I wait for it to cool. Then I don't "fix" it, rather, I replace it with a light bulb that works.
Do you pray to your god(s) to "fix" it?
BTW you have got to be kidding.

I finish my glass of wine, reach up to the shelf with xtra bulbs, un screw the old bulb, insert the new bulb, screw it in and continue
Now, How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

If your analogy is that God is dead and needs to be fixed, I'd say both you and Nietzsche jumped the gun quite a bit. God beliefs will likely persist as long as humans exist.

If you are suggesting atheists are pessimistic... You don't know much about the average atheist. I fix it just as fast as any other person would...Without praying to my invisible friend.

I turn on a flashlight
But you'll probably say the light is god and we will seek out the light
You're funny man, don't get mad, it's not the christian way

Well depends on if it's dark out or not. Most likely I will get around to changing it.
