    One would really think you'd be less defensive if you had confidence in your beliefs.

    I don't see any scenario in which providing the answer that I could give to this question could possibly be beneficial to either myself or anyone hostile to my religion, therefore I respectfully decline to participate.

    Have a good day.

    I'm not searching.
    I do occasionally worry that I might be wrong, though.

    I'm not the one who can't stop talking about and interrogating the people who do believe in something I think is bollocks.

    Maybe it's you who has less confidence in your unbelief as you'd have everyone believe. :shrug:

    Uncertainty is the natural, proper state.

    Thankfully, we live in a place where people have the freedom to make those choices for themselves.

    Though I am surprised to see you of all people telling other people what it's "proper" to feel.

    Indeed. Only fools and little children are certain. The rest of us are allowed the occasional doubt here and there.

    Maybe I should have said "logical."

    And yes, you are perfectly free to ignore logic.

    Fact is, Christians have moments of uncertainties all the time. Jesus had moments of uncertainty.

    Faith isn't certainty...it's hope and belief. So don't worry... :logicwins:

    I've had mealtime conversations with God in diners.

    Like those meal talks tailor Garak & Dr. Bashir had on DS9.

    I asked God about Moses. God said he was a boozing drug-addicted weirdo who had poor hygiene.

    God told me he has no kids. He can't have any. Not since his vasectomy back in the Oligocene.

    Muhammed? Said he never spoke to any Arabians named Mohammed. I asked him if Gabriel did. His reaction was: "Who's Gabriel again?" When I first mentioned Muhammed, God assumed I was talking about Dr. Muhammed, a Pakistani nephrologist whose office is on the next block over.

    God's a militant atheist these days. Ironic isn't it?

    A real bumber he let me in on:

    There's NO afterlife.

    On the bright side God told me there's no Devil either. "What would be the point?" to quote God directly.

    God's someone to avoid mealtalks with. He's chintzy & never shuts the fuck up.

    Every time I try to pray to this God-Thing I feel like an idiot. Must be demon possession or something... Then I pray to Rosary,and it it feels ok. Must be the lyrics! :)
