the fact that most of those Atheists who have thought their position through, ended up insane, or committed suicide. Where do you get a lame-brain idea like that. You might as well think that anyone who has decided there aren't unicorns are insane too. Out of all the Gods an atheist just believes in one less than you. TP

>>Atheists who have thought their position through, ended up insane, or committed suicide.<< Interesting... Do you consider polytheists such as the ancient Romans to be prone to insanity or suicide like the atheists? What about people who worship mortal heros such as Michael Jordan?

<those Atheists who have thought their position through, ended up insane, or committed suicide> Pray for me! heheh. I'm not what you would call a, uh, devout atheist. Mostly I've had an easy life and little prayer and faith has been required. But you can be sure I was praying and promising when the Radiologists said they didn't know if my daughter had a functioning renal system. I was really freaked out for a couple weeks, turns out, Miriel is super healthy, just doesn't have both kidneys. And now I have to keep all those promises! (told you I wasn't a very good atheist<g>) I think I can conceptualize what God is, if God exists, and my ideas suggest to me that God is unlikely to exist. Or I don't have the brain power to fathom the whole thing.
