    Absolutely true of Atheists too! Studies show that when atheists are asked to “describe” God, they, like pretty much all of us, start to describe themselves. They implant in God their own personalities and emotions and attributes. We all do #GodAHumanHistoryhttps://twitter.com/gretngsfrmearth/status/932284605251461122 …

    I'm curious, if our own personalities, attitudes, etc. influence how people view nature of their god(s), what about atheists? Fascinating! Will have to check out new @rezaaslan book!

        That’s an odd study. Why would an atheist describe “God”. I wouldn’t.

        Right? I could only ever imagine saying, “but there is no god- how can I describe something that doesn’t exist”. I can’t imagination question that could prompt me to give an answer

        this sounds like bullshit. An atheist wouldn't ascribe anything to something that doesn't exist.

        Same here. I'm going to have to read the book to delve deeper into the idea that atheism is a reflection like the type of god is for believers.😀

        Disagree..I don’t have an anthropomorphic entity in my life. Only cathedral I worship in is the natural world. It is perfect. It doesn’t need an explanation. It just needs & deserves respect. We fail to do so at our peril.

        How is it possible for an atheist to describe god? Fictionally? Mythically?

        Yes, what context or wording would get an atheist to answer this question.

        I don’t describe God as having human emotions. More of a scientist. We’re an experiment he/she is running and not going well.

        Good, succinct way to describe. Why would an entity that is so powerful be encumbered with something like human emotions.

        I tend to describe gods as ludicrous fantasies. I may be ludicrous, but I'm not a fantasy.

        Reza, This sentiment is nonsense on your part. Atheists do not "describe" emptiness. There is no evidence in our cosmos for a sky-God. The Atheist motto is: ho cosmos atheos [Ancient Greek, "the universe is godless"].
