It's a pity you didn't take that extra step and become a rational thinker.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

A miracle! It is a sign that we must collect socks!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

it's hard to explain to an irreligous person, god is just, ugh it's so hard to describe and i feel people wont like me for it.
God is,
for me atleast, it's complicated.
"God is just ugh" is still the best description I've seen.

You know there's a difference between respecting your beliefs and respecting the divine being you believe in, right?

It's called the sensus divinitatis. You can ignore it, explain it away, or explore it.
Personally, more than 20 years ago, I was as much of an atheist as anyone else here. Nevertheless my intuition of something transcendent continued to grow and has stayed with me. Some days it is stronger than others but it seems to always be there in the background.
YMMV
Bullshit. Unless you had a major head injury.

You must be pretty insecure in you "lack of belief". Consider a few of the following list of former atheists:
Francis S. Collins, M.D, Ph.D, head of the Human Genome Project
John C. Wright, Nebula award finalist
Dr. Edward Feser, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pasadena City College
Leah Libresco, writer for the Huffington Post and former atheist blogger
You may be a whole lot smarter then them but judging by your posts I doubt it.
