That's pretty much where I am, Rhonda. I didn't "choose" to not believe, I didn't decide to "accept" anything. I just realized that what I had claimed to believe made no freaking sense. And I just couldn't send myself through "what if" mental hoops anymore. So if someone gets in my face, wanting me to accept their belief, they need to provide something substantial - no personal relationship, no fantasies, no apologetics and most certainly no book - just get that Deity to come by and prove it exists and I'll change my mind. Until then . . . makes no sense, I'm not buying it.
Rhonda.

Isn't that easy?

Just do what fuzzy said.

All you have to do when you want someone is to ....get that person to come by and prove it exists.
Isn't that clear?

Not completely clear, actually you have to ask fuzzy how you get that person-entity to come by?

Do you grab it and drag it by the neck or there is a different way to get it to you?

Oh, hang on Rhonda.
What about if that person doesn't want to come by?
How do you get it then?
Gee, i never thought about it!
