A lion, a bear.
No one told them what they are. They didn't go to a class, read a book or listen to a PHD to tell them what they are.
Only a pseudo-atheist would need to have someone to tell him what he is, and he certainly would not join a religious discussion board, for there would be nothing to discuss.
Does he really need someone to tell him what he is? Does he need confirmation as to what he is?
I have know a few, very few, real atheists. It came from their heart. "What I want, when I want, with whoever I want, everything else be damned" attitude. No talk, just action.
There are no real atheists here, only the pseudo type.

A lion is a lion, a bear is a bear. A fox is a fox, a deer is a deer. That is what they are, and they behave as what they are. That is to be expected.
The tendency of man is towards satisfying his fleshly desires.
Now, I do expect someone who believes in God to be going to church, preaching to others, condemning others for their beliefs, praying in public and in private, protesting at "gay pride" events and the like. I also expect a "holier than art thou" attitude in addition to a feeling of self-righteousness. But, it is to be expected.
All of these things could appear to be hypocritical if that same person, whether in public, or in private, or both, was a hedonist, Monday thru Saturday. We can speculate as to why that person even goes to church, other than just applying the label "hypocrite".
Maybe they are relieving their guilty conscience. They may feel that if they just keep going to church, the pull of the flesh will decrease in intensity, or go away all together. So somehow, someway, religion serves as a restraint for them, even though it may not appear to be so at face value.
At some level, this person believes there is a God, otherwise they wouldn't bother with any of it. They would cast off all restraint.
Now, the atheist on the other hand, answers to no one. Not to God, not to society, but only to himself. There "is" while he is alive, and there "is not" when he is dead. I would never expect anyone who truly believes this to be seen in any church.
So then, the atheist who is not satisfying, or at least trying to satisfy every fleshly and/or animalistic desire that comes up into the heart, does not really believe there is no God, for the flesh is calling 24 hours a day for indulgence. That is the tendency of man. He leans so far to the flesh, he actually should tip over without having any restraint.
So the believer demonstrates by their life that there is someone, or something that he must answer to, and that is a restraint for him in some capacity. Even if it does not appear to be so on the surface.
So, too, the atheist should demonstrate by their life that they have cast off all restaint, for they have none, and live for the flesh and for the satisfying of their animalistic desires, which are common to all humans. It should be expected of the true atheist.

On my way into work today,,,,,
by Jomavrick ini was listening to some southern radio preacher giving his sermon.
he was talking about the need to sell out to god and not just say that you love god but prove it.
he then said something that made me laugh - he said " a wife doesn't prove that she loves her husband in the parlor, she proves her love for him in the kitchen".. now i find that hilarious for a couple reasons, what do you ladie's and gents think??

I heard the same guy, but I forgot his name.
I also thought that was funny.
It does go from "You ain't getting none tonight" to "You ain't getting dinner tonight".
