<I'm continually amazed at the anti-Catholicism of Catholics.>

What do you mean "anti-Catholicism"? A rational understanding of the pros and cons of ANYTHING is healthy.

Again, I think you confuse God and Church.

Do you think Churches are any more Holy than people?

ie. Reasons for atheism:

<Fear of a judgmental God is a major one for many. >

OR, an innate knowing that the judgemental god they were taught about doesn't make sense... OR an intellectual understanding that the God they have been taught about can't possibly be... among the many, as you say.

That's why:

1.) I see where Dawkins is coming from... makes perfect sense to me given certain "versions" of God.
2.) Dawkins position (assuming atheism means rejecting any possibility of God) makes no sense... one can only reject something they know about... Why would he bother?

OTOH, I'm sure he could debate and win a logical argument with just about any religious figure about dogma of various churches... pretty easy to shoot a LOT of things down.

IMHO that's why Jesus, Lao Tzu, and other "saints and sages" spoke in general, and parable like ways. What is true at this place in time is false in another... like quantum physics.
