So I am a Athiest, what now?

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.

No one has to present station fulls of information from around the world with endless hours of interviews to be qualified to speak a simple truth.
There was nothing wrong with my analogy - I made it simple, not lazy, and there is a difference.

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?

No, Willy, not by my God, but by my ability to read and comprehend what you clearly wrote at the beginning of this Post -

Life goes on. I don't believe in a god and am quite happy.

I answered you according to the very claim your belief
The chronological order of the thread is the very proof of it.

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 anology breaks down? No amount of opposing (ie "VS") can weaken the construct of the example...
The sheer number of sighted people is very comparable to the number of people who believe in God (or a god) regardless of their religion. A majority of people are believers. The number of people who aren't are few (like it or not).
Now....is there some special claim of knowledge you possess that should elevate your claim above the majority of the world?
As I said before, 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.
Sure. There are liars, but reality and truth walk hand and hand.

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

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

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.

That's odd indeed. Hmmm.
Something else, if you are using a smart phone (mine is a LG Rebel) check your settings. One of the settings my phone offers is the ability to "view in desktop mode."
Does your phone have the equalivent?

I believe in God too but in my own way.

The way I see it is be loving to others and if one believes in god then to be loving to him too.

And there you have it. You're off to a lovely start.๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Congratulations!
You are not only an Athiest.... you're a republican.

As a Conservative Republican, I cannot endorse your statement.

Polling each side, the Dems are largely the non-believers.
