Careful! Some asshole is going to give you a long winded definition of "sure" in order to avoid honest discussion. :-) Maybe you feel comfortable in believing or anticipating certain things. Ouch! I mean possible things. Atheists do tend to follow Science--I mean apprehend, grasp, and adhere to Science. Christ it is so difficult talking. Not like human sacrifice... Is that SCIENCE? Human sacrifice??
