I'd say you're well ahead of our age haha. I thought you had been researching/thinking about this stuff for *decades*, not just a mere handful of years! Well done
And you, sir: I'd been operating under the impression that everyone here was older and wiser than me by quite a margin, so you and all us baby-faced atheists apparently do a good job of hiding it.
Well, thank you!

It's great to see how the discussions that take place here bring all of us together!

Look at it this way, getting old is better than the alternative.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Theology is like a bunch of people sitting around and talking about Breaking Bad under the delusion that the show is a documentary.
Or Harry Potter. Then the atheist would be asking why that simple light spell never happens outside of their Holy Mov--errr... Documentary

I have read the Bible and the works of St Thomas Aquinas and Clement of Alexandria, the Qur'an, much (but admittedly not all) of the Vedas, the Book of Mormon, The Iliad and Odyssey, some of the available Mesopotamian mythology and many other texts and mythologies from around the world.
How many books on atheism that were written by atheists have you read?
Just think on it and consider why I am not offended by your comment. I understand why you might make a comment like that, do you?

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Atheism is based on ignorance mainly in America as far as I have observed......as a Christian, I view American atheists as some of the best tools used by God to spread His Message. I guess the same is true for those American Evangelicals who make themselves look like asses just the same. Just that pretty much evens out the playing field.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
