Atheists are like kids
Agree or not, but humans historically, always have the need to believe in something. Mostly the existence of a supreme being. A supreme being differs according to an individual. It could be the existence of God or even existence of aliens. Yes, aliens. Everyone who believes in the existence of aliens, attributes superiority to them. They're thought to be a lot more advanced than humans and extremely knowledgeable - supreme. Atheists dispel the existence of God and spiritual beings. To them, these are merely figments of imagination. Atheists do not believe in a supreme being. The question therefore is this, have atheists advanced beyond the human need to believe in something, or are they just living in denial? I like to think of atheists as people in desperate need of a spiritual experience. It is not uncommon that we rather deny the existence of something, if we cannot have it or experience it ourselves. We often treat with disdain that which we want but cannot have. For people who say there is no God, they seem to be really concerned with religious issues. Even more than the ones practicing said religion. They're on every religious posts on social media, throwing what I like to call 'atheist tantrums'. I liken these tantrums to those of children seeking attention. A lot of people adopt atheism as a means to spite God. Perhaps these people asked for something which was not given to them, or have experienced a misfortune they felt was unjust. The only way which they express their anger is by denying His existence. They do not deny God's existence because of their personal conviction, but as a way to avenge their misfortune. It reminds me of something we did as kids. Whenever we felt hurt by the actions or inactions of our parents, we could decide to stop speaking with them or avoiding them. But a little attention from them, pacified us and got us running back to them. Atheists are like kids. Desperately needing an experience with God.
