I couldn't follow the strange logic of your argument "Idontgivenames" However, your cheap shot at atheists leads me to believe there probably isn't anything worth finding. As an atheist I take exception to your assertion that I must have led a deprived existence. I certainly don't feel left in the corner, I'm out there looking for answers. The answers to life's questions are to be found (for my part anyway) in scientific reasoning, and not in some dusty old book appropriated by people who wished to exercise control over the populace. That's all religion is to me, a way of controlling people. Having said that I accept that religious faith offers great comfort to people, and I will not begrudge that. Please, respect my view as an atheist as I respect your faith (whatever it may be) I don't ask you to become an atheist as it matters not at all to me, why is it so important that I follow your faith? There is no evidence that God exists, none whatsoever. The only evidence is The Bible, and that really doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's a matter of faith, and I have none in God. I believe in humanity and science. That is what drives the wheel of progress, not God. I agree with Jagged Edge here. If God exists then why is he so keen for me to worhip him? All this guff about a "jealous God" is so obviously a ruse to keep people frightened of thinking for themselves. Can't you see that? I guess not...
