I am not much of a detail person Since the devil is in the details, maybe it's not a bad thing to not go there?

My mother was an atheist (after having attended the Moody Bible Church and Wheaton college :-) - she just lost her faith, and she was pretty pissed off about the years she "wasted" believing in some (as she saw it) pretty strange things. One day, when I was an adult, she just sat at the kitchen table shaking her head- and saying "How could I have believed the jawbone of an ass talked?" But she sent me to Sunday school, so I could see for myself. I did not like it much. I preferred the Greek and Roman myths. oops- edit- now my mom believed there WAS NO GOD. I'm an agnostic- I think there might be some sort of force in the universe, like the unified field theory, that someone could "call" God, if they wanted to. But I can't say I know for sure.

"The atheists I know seem more concerned in not having God forced into public places than in an assertion that there is no God." I didn't say that any particular atheist does do that - i.e. attempt to foist their atheism on anyone else (though some surely do) - but rather intended to make the point that atheism is, in fact, a belief system and is, therefore, "foistable." The best (or worst) an agnostic can do is wonder aloud who is right. Perhaps they could moderate the foisting match -er- debate? ;-)
