Atheism and God - 002

Do atheists believe in the force? like star wars?
And is that same force, if it were to exist to an atheist, be the same force that brings a kidney into creation, or closes a wound?

I have no problem with atheism, and I acknowledge God.

Atheism is truly needed in this world, but should only be temporary.

Atheists are needed because there exists concepts and ideas in this world that are silly, and unworthy of belief, and the Atheist understands this. These ideas and beliefs make their homes in the minds of men, and the Atheist understands this as well.

So the atheist, when he declares he does not believe in god, is saying that he doesn't believe in the ideas he has about god, because he sees them as not worth believing.

And surely if my thoughts and concepts on God were akin to an athiest's then I would (privately) reject such a false God as well. ...

But for me, rejecting God would be like saying the the power that keeps my hand healthy doesn't exist, and the hand itself, which is a fruit of the creative force, isn't there. Which to reject my God like this would prove to be against reason and understanding. Because my hands are here, and they move, with power allotted and articulated by my will, which considers all kinds of emotions and situational events..right!?. and one day these hands will decay with the death of the body... right!?.. and then that creative power that once animated my body, that constantly moved through me, will still be moving through other creations, other humans, and will lives on and on.

So if your idea of God is only a man sitting on a cloud, with a magic wand saying "there and there, and give that man a jager bomb" then rock on atheist, you do yourself a service with non belief.
