If Atheists really believed in logic and science without deluding themselves they would go insane.

My opponent somehow seemed to draw the conclusion that I am arguing for Theists, but I don't remember every stating that. Please, remain on topic. This argument is not about Theists vs Atheists. I do not need to prove that these religions are rational to believe in. I am arguing this as a non-religious and non-atheist person. Just a insane person who knows they know nothing and is pretty much just having fun. This argument is simply about pointing out that no matter how atheists go on about how "rational" they are, they pretty much delude themselves too. Now, on to the argument. I said without deluding yourself! How on earth do you know that these people did not delude themselves. In fact I think they most likely did. Or they were very, very passive people. Deluding yourself includes thinking that you are "helping society" by gathering more knowledge. Looking from a truly logical and hard perspective there is not reason to doing that. Why does that person want to help society? There is no reason to do that except for the "feelings" in you head that tells you to strive to help your species so that it can survive longer. The person does not know. Deluding yourself includes that. No one knows anything. Most people believe they have purpose. Once again no sound reasoning behind it. And don't come and tell me you don't believe that secretly. If my opponent did not believe that, he would not bother to post a reply. But, no my opponent believes life means something. He believes that maybe he is doing good by spreading the knowledge he believes he is by debating me. If he asks himself why, gets an answer and asks why again...and continues like that eventually he would realise he does not know. He deludes himself into thinking life has a point. Maybe he believes emotions are more than just fluids in our brains even. No matter how hard atheists try and deny it they also delude themselves in the back of their mind. Whispering that whatever they are doing has a point. That they are part of something bigger. At least religious people ask for an explanation. Sure, most of the time its far fetched, here is a thing I wrote which its a dumbed down way of seeing it, but will be sufficient for the purposes of this argument. "Hey, welcome to life! Its pretty much pointless since you die at the end. But, you need to be this thing called "good" and you may not be "bad. You should also want things. That is called "greed". Also you do not want to die. You don't know what happens when you die. It probably feels like sleeping. Just nothing. And...uh just don't think about how futile life is and how everything come down to nothing. You also have science to help you think you know stuff. Its like algebra you just fill stuff in to a "normal" and think you know stuff. Also it won't explain what happens when you die or even bother with purpose and your species and planet also most likely be swallowed by the sun. Nothing makes sense and logic will only take you so far. Have fun." Says scary voice. Deluded atheist: Sounds cool. Religious person: Why...? Scary voice: 'Cause magic! Religious person: Ok! Real Atheist: ...that is...(really you'd go insane) In conclusion, many atheists see "science" as their almost "deity?" and then believe that it will somehow save humanity and we'll eventually be great or know everything. Even a underdog story with "science" being the hero. We'll escape planet earth and live happily ever after thanks to "science". They have no reason for this expect the human hope and natural avoidance of the futility of life. That is not what science is. Maybe religion is just a coping mechanism for others. Maybe otherwise religious people would go insane. I mean try and really think about it. We refuse, refuse to think we are nothing. Its human nature to delude yourself to avoid that. Its logical. Its helps you survive. We don't know why, though, and we are not allowed to think about why we don't know. We are not allowed to question it. We can hardly even think like that. We fear what we do not know and delude ourselves. Saying it does not matter. It does not matter we have no idea what happens after death. It does not matter we won't exist. It just does not... No matter that all human reason tells us to avoid death. Evolution is literally created upon a concept of survival of the fittest. Survival. Avoiding death for the longest and reproducing. Our brains are made to accept it. We are made to delude ourselves and its very, very hard not to.
