Would not all departing from that state of being
be accurately known as arealists?

And as you mature ...

The questions begin to arise ...

Where did I come from, why am I here, who am I,
where am I going, what's life all about, what's the
meaning of life ...?

And from a realistic viewpoint, the naturalistic answers
are your mom & dad, a result of sexual activity, a being,
unknown, life is what you make it, and the meaning of
life is to find the meaning of life ...

And in all of that, pray tell, would not realism be present?

Now, interject the supernatural, and what do you have but
arealism ...

So, henceforth and forevermore, atheists shall be known as
realists, and all the deviations from realism shall be referred
to as arealism ...

What do you think? Isn't life all about what you think about
it rather than de facto acceptance of the way those before
you thought about it? If so, if life is all about what you think
about it, why not think about it in a different way? Why not
realism and arealism, for a change, for a clearer and more
accurate way of viewing our one and only sure chance on
earth?

Some/many arealists make many claims about and attacks
upon realists via the venue of arealism or anti-realism or
arealist constructs which label realism and realists as evil
or in league with the devil, lost souls doomed to lives of
futility and despair, destined for immortal torment or
oblivion.

Some/many arealists use God as "the one and only" a priori
answer for all unknowns, and on that basis alone, attack
realism and realists from a position that realists lack that
answer for all unknowns. To those types of arealists, the fact
that their answer for all unknowns is 'make believe' or merely
convenient and presumptive and non-evidential makes no
difference. They have "the one and only" a priori answer
for all unknowns, and by God, they're bound and determined
to hold that over realists' heads.

Some/many arealists use God as the equivalent of good, and
on that basis alone attack realism and realists from a posi-
tion that realists lack that good known as God.

Some/many arealists use God as requisite for immortality,
attacking realists and realism because there is no immortality
construct tied into realism.

I could continue, but suffice to say, some/many arealists find
plenty of grounds for using their arealism against realism and
realists.

To put it plainly and simply, if an arealist views God and all
associated beliefs as 1 and Truth (optimum good) and all
beliefs opposite their optimum good as -1 and sinful and false
(optimum bad), therein resides their methodology for trying to
associate realists/realism with evil/untruth, rejecting realism on
that basis alone.

As for arealism promising immortality, is that playing
fair? After all, realists have nothing but reality to offer, but
most arealists assert that there is heaven awaiting if ______
[fill in claims here].

Also, speaking of playing fair, many arealists assert that there
is eternal damnation awaiting if ________ [fill in claims here],
and you better ________ [fill in claims here] or else.

Most arealists assert that they've got a friendly buddy one
can talk to (via prayer) and that buddy just happens to be
the supreme be-all end-all of the entire universe and all
realists have to offer is reality and human companionship,
so ...

To best achieve edification and enlightenment, perhaps it
would be well-advised for arealists to consider dismissing
their claimed Truths and promises and claims of answers
for all unknowns and their efforts to brainwash/indoctrinate
their children (and every child they can get their hands on)
into God fear/belief, valuing the advantages and veritability
of realism over the imaginations and deceit required for
arealism ...
