Most of what he posted there is true, however, how does one explain, that the atheist, with no belief in God can become whole?

Now what do I mean by this comment? Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, pondered the mysteries of life, in ancient days. In fact it was Aristotle, that taught Alexander. And Alexander was considered as Alexander the Great.

Atheism is human, therefore, it is fallible. Atheism is a religious, due to the fact that human beings are religious by nature, and Atheism is just that anti religion. Belief in no God, is just as powerful as belief in a God. It is a lifestyle. And in time that lifestyle bears fruit.

This is not a religious view point, but a view point of reason. Man has determined how his thoughts and lifestyle shall be. The lack of God in the viewpoint of Man, brings Man to a place of being pessimistic. Where one who believes in God is optimistic. It is just a perspective that's all it is. A religious person has a different perception on life, than an atheist. That's all it is.

Just like an optimistic person always hopes for the best, the pessimist always fears the worst. The optimist expects the better, and the pessimist expects the worst. This is perception, not religion. That is what you wrote about. Man is equal in all ways, therefore the religious is equal with the anti religious.

The philosophy from Christian circles, that you mentioned, serves the Greek and Roman philosophy quite well in concerning God, "Either you are for me, or you are against me" ; this is a Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, philosophy that has been completed by the Christians. And for intended perception is true. Thus, with in this perception, you must also state the other Judeo-Christian philosophy, when combined with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, "How can the imperfect judge the imperfect?", the answer is "Hate the Sin, not the Sinner"........

This concept would have never come to be, by those who follow anything as blind sheep and never challenging what they believe to be true, and just accepting what they think. In order to challenge a principle, thought or process, it is necessary to have the being of what is being tested, and the anti being of what is being tested. Only through that dynamic can one understand....as what is demonstrated above. If taken to full circle, and the hope is it is, the subject will change from Athiest to Christian.
