Why must you have such an informally rude tone to the atheist community? You know, you have the right to go around disproving their beliefs, but don't overgeneralize by attacking their personal life or physical health and say they're all fat (it seems heavily implied). This essay is just really rude--you seem to take delight in seeing crestfallen children, even if they are atheists. [[User:JLefkowitz|JLefkowitz]] 01:59, 1 February 2012 (EST)

:That's just how [[user:Conservative]] operates.  Most people ignore him and I suggest you do the same.  He does not speak for Conservapedia.  No point in getting involved.  --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 02:03, 1 February 2012 (EST)

There is no reason for most overweight atheists to be crestfallen.  Just get off the coach and jog around the block. Exercise increases endorphins in the brain which cheers people up. WebMD: "Improved self-esteem is a key psychological benefit of regular physical activity. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. For example, the feeling that follows a run or workout is often described as "euphoric." That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life."[http://www.webmd.com/depression/guide/exercise-depression]  Atheists have higher suicide rates (see: [[Atheism and suicide]] and [[Atheism and depression]]).  Perhaps if more overweight atheists got off the coach and spent more time in the gym, there would be less depression among the general atheist population. Also, exercise gives you a feeling of machismo which is something that many atheists do not have (see: [[Atheism and cowardice]] and [[Essay: Does Richard Dawkins have machismo]]).

Second, consider this:  Psalm 14:1-3 "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one." Also, Proverbs 26:1: "Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool."  So it appears as if the Bible is saying that foolish atheists do not deserve to be given honor.
