Professor Myers very aptly expressed what ALL atheists and agnostics believe anyway. No real shock. Most people become atheits because they have a very strong emotional need to deny the judge. But why do they want to deny the judge? Did they do something horrific in their life? Most likely.

Atheists are atheists becuase they have a psychological imperative driving them to deny the judge.

Atheism is just a form of denying the judge.

“I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics, he is also concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political.”

Aldous Huxley: Ends and Means, pp. 270 ff.

Christian Religionists are Religionists becuase they have a psychological imperative driving them to seek judgment.

Christian Religion-ism is just a form of seeking judgment.

" Atheism is just a form of denying the judge. "

Even though GOD is HOLY ... he is also the RIGHTEIOUS and JUST judge, and God made a way out, a way to exscape his righteous wrath .
