Excellent post Steven.
There are people who believe stories, and people who don't. I like the people who don't. Nothing brings a dinner party to a complete and full stop like an earnest proselytizer.

Logically it is easier to defend believing in nothing than something, but it seems silly to me to jump to any belief. Although it doesn't really matter a great deal, I suppose, unless it makes you run around and go off on people who don't believe your story. Unfortunately that seems to be a pretty common result.

Still, won't it be great when we get on space ships, go to the ends of the universe, and you can tell them your creed. God (if there is one) is not interested and man will not be helped by #reply-15538328

What do you believe in that makes your logic so great. I don't care what you don't believe but I'm certainly interested in what you've found that is such a great substitute for what you do not believe in.
