So I am a Athiest, what now?

Though you are happy, is what you believe (that there is no God), a verifiable fact? From what corner of the universe did you assume your source?
Why hold me to a standard by virtue of your beliefs you can't implement?

I was trying to make a point. People who have been blind from birth aren't obligated to believe what sighted people believe when it comes to sight.
The smarter ones, however, would.

I fully understand the point you were trying to make, but your analogy was flawed. Assuming that said blind people have a certain belief, without proof that they indeed have such a belief is, to my mind, intellectually lazy. You are, yet again, making a rather unwarranted assumption when you claim to know what I believe; maybe this is special knowledge conferred to you by your god?
Your chosen analogy also breaks down insofar as it's assumed that people who can see, vs those who are blind, equal those that believe in a god vs unbelievers. The first lot (sighted) would be describing a quantifiable phenomenon, whereas the second lot (believing in a god) would be describing a mental construct, lacking objective reality.
My last point, regarding "People who have been blind from birth aren't obligated to believe what sighted people believe when it comes to sight.
The smarter ones, however, would.", is that blindly believing (See, I made a funny!) is NOT a mark of intelligence, since people have been known to lie. Also, what people 'see' isn't necessarily what's there, so a certain amount of skepticism regarding their claims isn't unwarranted.

Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Terry Gibbs - they don't believe in rainbows and are just as happy as you.

Do you know this as a verifiable FACT? If so, name your sources.

Sarah Connor is just plain badass and not having her in the sequels after T2 was plain dumbass.

I don't usually make political posts.

From what I gather, the Mueller report, as released, is the REDACTED report with the really juicy bits cut out. I wonder what form this conversation would take if the complete report were to be released?
