Without your all convincing evidence Thorne, the position of the atheist holds no more actual bearing of validity over any of this than that of any given theist.

And its not just me who thinks dis-believing in something is in and of itself a belief honey...I didnt create the english language, or philosophy and ethics, or the very basic logic that draws that very conclussion.

Sounds pretty high and mighty fanciful to me that an atheist minority having no evidence what so ever to support it's claims expects a religious majority to up and abandon their own long standing assumptions on said topic.

Im also not the one who made anything up when it came to what a state run by atheists looks like btw we have allready seen that happen in not one but in several countries...as much as you wish to deny it, which does in deed prove that alltough religions can be twisted by individuals to bad ends...so can any idea or belief system or lack there of.

I am glad however I live in a country were we dont have to do as any one person says and that we are all free to believe what we wish so long as its not hurting anyone else.

I just wish you could do the same and respect the beliefs of others in the same way you wish for them to respect your own.
