I suspect that part of the reason that you and Solon are not on the same page is that you are discussing entirely unrelated phenomena. Solon's posts refer to the activities of organized religions; yours to the existence of God. I see no connection whatsoever between the two.

I am quite willing to discuss religion: such discussion is based on observed behaviour and can be conducted with a modest degree of empirical certainty. Discussing the existence of God seems to me a waste of time: since no empirical proof exists in either direction, the discussion can only go around in circles. Some choose to believe, others choose not to believe. As long as neither imposes their choice on others, I've no problem with either.

I will say that if you honestly believe that it is impossible to build a cohesive philosophy of life from a Godless material existence, you have perhaps not tried hard enough. I grant that it is more challenging than buying into a pre-packaged religion, but the challenge is often well rewarded. Try it sometime.
