I guess I'm operating under the assumption that you were making a joke? Can't fathom either conclusion impacting atheists in such a way as to challenge their lack of faith in higher powers.
My point was that a person who believes in God could easily make either claim, so saying that one situation is indicative of God's existence is kind of unfair. I should have elaborated.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
