"Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God." -Heywood Broun

1. Because they may have unspoken concerns that there's more to eternal issues than at first appeared.

2. Because doing so with technical objections, counterfeit arguments and distortions blurs these issues.

Before asking us to give explanations for atheists talking about god more than
theists you must first demonstrate that (collectively) atheists do in fact talk
about god more than theists do.

This you will not be able to do as it is not in fact true.

Theists talk about god way more than atheists do.

Your premise is false.

What you seem to fail to realize is that the belief that "atheists do in fact talk about god more than theists do" is all that is required. Accept this free gift rather than blindly remaining the victim of self deception, self justification and self absorption.

He also said, "Sports do not build character. They reveal it.": same as in competitive online public forums.

Be nice to read a few quotations that please you. Observation is from Heywood Broun not yours truly. Our character begins developing in childhood and continues to develop positive or negative character traits until we move to our eternal address.

if you put up a quote with no expectation or side notes of your own then i can only assume that you feel the quotes speak for you. i have lots of quotes i love, but i feel that a forum is a place for my words and thinking.

Took a while to realize the versatility of vacuous eternal rhetoric.

Grampy hides behind a quote to avoid showing his own opinion in the matter.
Or perhaps he has no opinion at all.

Fabian, Svenska Pojke isn't hiding; rather, he's establishing an author's premise for the purpose of eliciting responses:

"Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God." -Heywood Broun

1. Because they may have unspoken concerns that there's more to eternal issues than at first appeared.

2. Because doing so with technical objections, counterfeit arguments and distortions blurs these issues.

3."

If you have one, please feel free to express it. You're among friends.
