I do find it interesting that he chose the name "flesh" lol maybe a subconcious decision based on the ongoing battle between the spiritual man and the flesh?

We all are born with an idea of something bigger than us. Almost an inutitive knowldege that there is a God. As we grow up we either choose to deny it, ignore it, or embrace it. I find it interesting that so much effort is expended to fight the existence of God.
We are all born with an idea of something bigger??? First of all, that is so not true it's not even funny, second how can you prove a crazy statement like that? When we are born, we are an empty slate. That idea that there's something bigger is intilled by religious parents, by religious teachers. Let me tell you, when I was a kid, the question of God was very far from my mind, unitl my Catholic parents told that I was baptized, that would have a First Communion and a Confirmation.

My intuitive knowledge tells me there is no god whatsoever, so I'm not denying anything. If anything, atheism is extremely positive in its outlook, its just that were constantly on the defensive.

Don't go around assuming you know what other people instinctively feel or think, you will be sorely disappointed.
