Not Wanting to be an Atheist
#8
RE: Not Wanting to be an Atheist
I feel for you xingli,

When I first came here I felt those pangs of religiousness and explored returning to it, but kept reading and thinking and ultimatly solidified my lack of faith in anything resembling a god. It wasn't through an act of will but more just a natural consequence of logic and reason. There are a few here that are theistic that followed much the same process and somehow came to a different conclusion, you might be one of those. I respect them even though I disagree with them. We can't control what we believe; belief is just an artifact of the current knowledge we have.

I never realized that deities had erectile tissue in their bosoms, who knew? First thought when I read that.
