You don't understand atheists and agnostics any more then Karen and I understand theists. And fwiw I don't think you understand the religious very well either. I understand you think you know a lot. I suppose if that makes you happy that's a good thing. But I know of no atheists or agnostics who think there is no "value" in the nature of things. I've no idea how you came to such an odd belief. I understand that for you, life would be a howling black depressing void without your conception of God. You've mentioned that often enough. But you really must try to believe that in some people there exists an almost boundless sense of joy, without religion. It's probably just the wiring of our brains, and I for one am grateful for it. I accept that the religious feel this joy, or something like it, because they say they do (although I can't imagine how). With all your talk about reading and the wonderful way it transmits experience, I would have thought you would have realized this. But I'm telling you again for the umpteenth time. Not that it will make any difference.
