A one word description of believers.

There is a word that perfectly describes people who believe in god.

It’s not a bad word but it’s certainly not a good one either. This word is not by any means a swear word in fact I’ve used it before in an affectionate way to describe friends.

I wouldn’t want this word directed at me but I’m sure that there have been times in the past when it could have been and I would have temporally deserved it.

The word is Gullible.

To believe all the fairy tale stories religious people are required to believe they must have a very high gullibility level.

Immortality. It just goes on too long.

As I argued with someone recently that god is a man made myth, created by humans for various reasons it slowly began to dawn on me why this person had no intention of believing any of my points.

For them to do so, they would have to give up the greatest belief of all.

Immortality.

They simply were not able to accept that this life is all we have and that when we die that’s IT!

They would listen to my evidence, logic and reason with a completely deaf hear allowing nothing I said to permeate their indoctrinated mind.

As an atheist I know that I need to enjoy this life because it’s all I have.
