Do theists have any proof that god exists and if not why do they believe in god?
The area of conflict between theists and atheists is the fact that theists choose to believe the historical writings of a holy scripture such as the bible or Koran as a relative or complete truth because the society from which the believer comes from or has decided to become a part of has held these beliefs as traditional fats and have carried them down throughout many generations. On the other hand atheists do not accept these traditional scriptures as sufficient proof to accept the existence of the deity/deities described in the respective scriptures. Theists then can be said to be non-skeptics who accept traditional beliefs as fact, through the idea of faith, atheists then are those who are more skeptical and will only take physical fact as sufficient proof for the existence of god. "You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." --Dr. Arroway in Carl Sagan's book "Contact"
What do you think of atheists?
This isn't really an opinion service! Atheists are people who don't believe in a god. Plenty of people don't believe, there is no evidence that atheists are better or worse than theists - it's easy to think of evil things done by atheists (Stalin) or theists (911 bombers) just as it's easy to think of good things done by atheists (Churchill, Bob Geldof, Betrand Russell) and theists (Ghandi).Views on atheists differ widely.Among the religious, atheists are many times used a symbol of moral decay of society. To the religious, godlessness is something to be feared. Many people like to equate atheism with the works of brutal dictators and extremist leaders, like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc. This being said, there are plenty of religious people who understand that atheists are not evil simply because of their lack of faith.To atheists themselves, the idea that there is no such thing as God is simply a statement of rationality. It often does take courage to admit such a view, as it is not widely held in the United States. Generally, atheists are highly committed to social justice and the welfare of humanity as a whole.
