tbombz, Why would you argue physics with a goob like suck men off? As a radiation physicist, you can read through his cut and paste threads, and tell he has absolutely no idea what he is saying, my advice to you, don't pick on the special ed child anymore. 
And my second question is for those that say scientist do not believe in God, there are several of us that believe in God. Actually through my degree, I actually feel science has proven there is a God with the lack of answers that we do have!
Ive noticed this, for some reason, many scientists like to insinuate that "scientists" dont believe in god, period.
Honestly I believe from reading responses and from dealing with people in general, that atheists are just as afraid of being wrong and comforted by their choice as much as they believe theists are scared of being wrong.
Think of it this way - whats more frightening, the though of non-existance, or the thought that if you made bad choices and were a shitbag in life that you would spend an eternity suffering?
I know personally, I fear the possibility of hell a lot more than I fear the thought of non-existance. Anytime I find myself thinking of the possibility of death, I find I comfort myself with the thought that more than likely Ill just go to sleep and never wake up.
I feel that when atheists point to theists as "being afraid to die so they believe religion", well, I see that as wrong in most cases (im sure its true for some). It's much easier to believe that you just die, and that youre not accountable in any way for your actions, that to think that youll be judged for the things youve done in your life.
The people ive dealt with in my life, the aethists always tend to be the more dickish and close minded, and simply wont even entertain the idea that they may be held accountable for what theyve done - and I usually get the impression that the reason theyre so stubborn is because they dont want to think of the possibility of some being out there judging them for how theyve treated people or what theyve done in their lives.
Most of the REAL spiritual/religious people Ive met (not diehard zealots who believe simply because thats what's written and thats the way it is, or ones who know theyre "going to heaven" because they believe, even if they treat people like shit) have been, in general, nicer, kinder, and more open minded (which seems backwards, I know, but this is my experiences from people Ive interacted with). Only reason I can come up with, is that theyve accepted that theyre being judged by someone for the way they live their lives, and believe that if they live their lives well, treat people decently, and make good moral decisions (I know there is a lot of gray area in "morals") that they will not end up being punished in the worst possible fashion.
Seems like the same argument can be used for the so called "die hard zealots" on both sides -
Many die-hard Atheists fear religion because they dont want to be judged by someone for all the bad things theyve done in their lives
Many die-hard Theists fear the thought of non-existance, or their ego cant handle the idea that someday they wont matter and just wont exist anymore.
Personally I dont get the whole afraid of not existing argument, the thought of non-existance does not trouble me, as long as I feel happy with the way Ive lived my life, the people ive touched, and the things Ive accomplished. Death is an inevitability, to me the thought of being subject to someone elses judgment is far scarier than the thought that I could make whatever choices I want in life and never be held accountable for them.
So I dont think the "fear of death" argument follows for many theists. "fear of going to hell/being judged" is probably more appropriate, as Im sure there are many out there who claim a religion and follow it just on the off chance that if it is real, they wont go to hell, but they really dont "believe".
Im sure that whatever god they believe in wouldnt be fooled by their feigned faith however, IMHO those people are only fooling themselves. Just like the people that treat others like shit but claim to be "true christians", usually the same ones who know beyond a shadow of a doubt theyre going to heaven, and tell others that theyre going to hell. Those are the same people who seem incapable of understanding how their choices affect others, they always think theyre in the right, and that their morally just, even if they make people feel like shit or treat them like shit.
