  Are atheists less imaginative about the unknown?

  almost every atheist i have ever come across i can get along with well.

  i love to debate and talk about the world around us and they seem to as well, but i feel like i get a lot of "eye rolls" from the atheists i speak to.. it's ironic that i am six feet six inches tall because i would describe myself as a man with his head in the clouds.

  it's up there most of the time and i feel at home when thinking of the future.

  @lifeisgood,

  IMHO, you sound more agnostic or deist to me... IF you believe that the first cause is intelligent (like Sab said)...

  Non-believers are more like orbiting telescopes. -can focus more of their time on the unknown(without the error-correction that ground telescopes have to deal with)

  But they exist in the cold blackness of outer space... not a nice place to be.

  I've noticed that being general generally pisses people off.

  It pisses off a certain type of people, the type of which I won't get into here......... Aw hell, why not? I'll go there. They're called hypocrites...

  So If I call someone stupid, that makes me intolerant? of what? of stupidity?

  It makes you intolerant of what *YOU* define as stupidity or someone who is stupid. It CAN be a slippery slope. No?

  Tolerance is the bane of this planet.
  
  The moment i begin tolerating idiots (i.e let them walk over me) will be a very sad day indeed.
  
  Ignorance & stupidity MUST NOT EVER EVER EVER BE TOLERATED! IT MUST BE CRUSHED!

  Don't the likes of Mao and Stalin say things like that?

  That's exactly what it is though, you stupid moron.
  
  You believe in god? You pray to him?
  
  Yes? Then you're insane & need locking up.
  
  No? Then you're an atheist.
  
  
  SIMPLE AS THAT!
  Now suck my brain.

  Wow. Such inflammatory language! So shocking! Smacks of intolerance to me. I rest my case...

  P.S. I don't really think that all professed atheists are like the above...

  This time I'll go out on a limb and theorize that how atheistic an individual is can be defined by how intolerant they are. Someone who is tolerant and open minded is really more agnostic.

  To say that atheism is simply "lack of belief due to of a lack of evidence" is philosophical snake oil IMHO...

  I think this is a broad generalization. Maybe the people you know specifically, but don't think all atheists can be painted with that brush so easily.

  It depends on how hardcore they are...
