to mh.brewer (and all the other kind and wonderful posters)
I'll stick with the above posters and choose to remain in the forum rules where this is an introductory thread. I appericiate you calling my post judgemental, but nevertheless, we'll leave the debate for other sub-forums. What's going to be interesting though is my thoughts on your atheism. For example, in your post you claim what I stated is going to needing defending and backing up. Sadly in any debate that statement does not need defending or backing up, and you can fall right out of the sky trying to disprove that, but you will fail.
Sadly that is a fact mh.brewer. But just listen carefully. There are theists, and this is also in response to the other kind posters, and then there are non theists, and then there are atheists. Each position is a judgement upon Gods belief. You either choose to accept one or the other but you must accept one. That is what I read is the true defination of religion. To have a viewpoint. I discussed this at sciforums.com and I may be incorrect but A viewpoint must exist. I know even this example fails utterly to reitterate what is the essense of religion. But this is also my belief.
Nevertheless you are either an atheist, an agnostic, or a theist. If you are an atheist you cannot accept the sentence I wrote to you. And now you have proof of the "rationaless" existence in the universe, linguistic proof at least. The question is are you one of the rationless existences.
Are you simply not willing to accept what I stated? And to the second poster, no sadly, most atheists hide under covers and are afraid to take their masks off.
