I don't fall under that category, and I've never met anyone who does.
They're probably out there, though. I'm sure there are fanatics on both sides of the fence.

Two metrics determine the change in the world population: the number of babies born and people dying.
60.12 million people will die in 2021 around the world. That is 164,711 each day, 6863 each hour, 114.38 each minute, and 1.91 each second. The lowest total deaths per year were 46 mn in 1977, and the highest total deaths of 121.7 mn will be in 2099.
140 million people will be born in 2021 around the world. That is 383,071 each day, 6885 each hour, 266 each minute, and 4.43 each second. In 1950, total births per year were the lowest at 97.38 mn. The yearly number of births will remain at around 140 million per year over the coming decades and will expect to peak in 2044 with 140.58 mn births. It is then expected to decline in the second half of the century slowly.

Chris in case you were wondering when God would get a break in his dutes of monitoring who gets into heaven when they die & making plans for those just born. If I read that right it looks like the second half of the century God might get a couple of seconds a year to relax. Albeit 1 100th of a second will take awhile to add up to a couple of seconds a year. Like in your post 172 have faith it can be done.

That's a very self-centered way of looking at things, maybe it comes from worshiping Ru-Paul and his, "you must love yourself before you can love someone else" rule, which doesn't ring true to me at all.
Most people don't have to suffer form a disability or disease themselves in order to feel sympathy for those who do, and not wish to see them mocked.

JimBob1952, I couldn't agree with you more. What I think is my own business, and nobody else's Also, I'm on the other side of that coin. I'm an Atheist, and run into Christians, who freak out when they find that out. I hadn't said a word, and I heard that line, "So, you think I'm stupid for believing in God?". It's either that or they try to convert me. There is something about Atheism, which totally upsets some Christians. And I doubt very much that all Atheists are "saints",either.

This has happened to me too, a lot of times. I've always thought it was my RGF (Resting Grumpy Face) but maybe not.JimBob1952, I couldn't agree with you more.

Another argument for letting people do their own thing as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. I have no idea whether God exists or not. I certainly don't care what somebody else thinks about the subject.

I wish I could stop caring what other people think about things; I know I'd probably be a lot happier or content. However, I think caring at least once in a while what others think is hard-wired into homosapiens by evolution.

Well, true enough.

"Just because we can't fathom something doesn't
or shouldn't mean that the default answer is god."
I believe that's referred to as the God Gap or more precisely, "God of the Gaps."
