Welcome from Adelaide South Australia.
Retired at 38? Oh good,I feel so much better; I retired at 51 as part of a long term cunning plan.
My Latin is a bit rusty "Deus non est"= "there is no God"?. That would make you a hard atheist,a rare animal here and in real life in my experience.
Not sure I wan to see you try to justify that position, here it usually ends in tears .
He wont get much of an argument from me. I personally do not care if a god exists or not.. I will not worship it regardless. So it doesnt matter wether someone says a god exists or not to me. What matters if someone says a "benevolent and loving god" exists, in which case they will receive the full brunt of my fury.
There is no god? He is more than likely correct, as many claims of god turn out to be the same as claims for spiderman in my opinion..God exists, but only in fictional mediums...just like spiderman (lets be a bit more specific next time..shall we? LOL)
