Atheistically
What kind of rhetoric is this.
Its blatantly not true, if not downright dishonest and a personal attack on those not like you.
You mean atheist think for themselves and don't need to use mythology as a crutch ?

And their brains of course, you forgot that.
Their families, their communities. Their culture, their history, their knowledge.

I've wondered for a while if I could just comment "lol" on posts like this.
Then just not say anything else in the thread... is that even allowed?
I would like to know.
But, you know what? It's really you bringing yourself comfort, the entire time. The strength has always been inside of you, Servant. I understand the power that faith has within it, to believe in something larger than us. But, at the end of it all...the strength is inside of us, not in something else...far away...that religion convinces us to believe we need. All you need is to believe in yourself, really.
It is scary to let go of faith and the idea that a supernatural power is watching over me, protecting me, guarding me, loving me. But, since my belief is that mankind creates his own ideas of a god, it's really not a god at all doing all of that. The power to love and comfort ourselves has always lied within us.
I'm not trying to talk you out of your beliefs, but since you cannot see or touch god...it might stand to reason that what you think you believe, is really what already exists inside of you.

I'm not sure about others, but I rely completely on myself (which is a developed internal response to a bad situation).
Kinda just ball up in my own head and do nothing but think for hours on end.
After that I'm more or less back to normal, I need no sort of spiritual help or physical comfort.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Actually reliance has more to do with abilities and skills to survive using our intelligence and the intelligence of others.
Incidentally, why would an atheist seek out spiritual comfort in the context of religion in solving real world problems and issues if that is the implication here ?
If anything, it's reflection that provides the means of comfort and paves ways to solutions.
It is allowed.
Btw, perhaps we heathens are in less need of spiritual help because we don't ever have to feel guilty for disobeying our scripture.

He isn't trying to tell you what to believe or not to believe. He was telling you about what he things from his ATHEIST perspective.
You can believe anything you like for whatever reason you chose.
Others also have that right. Correct?
You are FREE to believe what you like?... yes?
Hope we all agree.
But from an atheist perspective, we don't believe in a god, and we don't believe in magic powers from gods.
What kind of support are you talking about, anyway?
Could you explain?

I think a lot of religious people rely on the same things.
Nature is real.
I doubt it. From what I have heard, the main reason for not writing "god" in full is a belief that even accidental defacing of that name should be avoided. Refusing to write the name in the first place seems to be a preventive measure.

And for sure that's nothing to do with him,then so why? Pretty much making a fun of belief.
Why are you so sure? I personally doubt it.

We can't account and know each and every sensitivity a person may or may not have about some spelling UNTIL they tell us about it.
I can't keep track.. I use the spelling "god" to refer to a kind of being..
I use the spelling "God" if I am referring to a person's god.. and they use that spelling.
I use the spelling "GOD".. er... mainly because sometimes I like to capitalize words.
I never use the spelling "G..D" because it's too slow.
I usually TRY to use the pronoun "it" instead of "he" ... because I don't think gods have human genitals or sex.
