How a Christian thinks:
They think just like the rest of us, but they have one thought though that keeps running through their minds that the rest of us don't.
There is no Allah, there is no Allah, there is no Allah, there is no Allah, there is no Allah....
There is no Vishnu, there is no Vishnu, there is no Vishnu, there is no Vishnu, there is ...[text shortened]... dha, there is no Buddha, there is no buddha....
And repeat for several thousand more Gods...

There is no God, there is no God, there is no God, there is no God, there is no God.... 😉

I have to say I'm appalled at how shallow this discussion is - are all of you still in the schoolyard? Are there no adults any more? Is everyone now free to display their most infantile self to the whole world? When you treat religion and spirituality this way it demonstrates that you are not serious about it. It shows that you are only interested in your own ego and the 'others' of this world mean nothing to you. Your brothers and sisters, your sons and daughters, their lives are nothing but backdrop for your ego-stroking. Grow up, please. There are children dying right now because ego has superseded good sense at every level of our civilization. I can't imagine a deity that would prefer the death of innocents to your personal disquiet - can you?

I don't mind being rebuked for superficial posts, even by an atheist.
But tell me, do I detect just a little bit of "crocodile tears" in this sentence above ?

If you're so worried about the children then get down there in Haiti and do something.
In the mean time I'll joke around about how atheists think all I want.
Hope I don't bruise your ego.
