[b]--How much of your "truth" is a regurgitation of what you've been taught to believe, because you were born to Christian parents instead of Hindu ones, and how much are fairy tales? At least we can measure and prove what is in the world. Until I have more concrete proof of your god than your assertions that you're right and we're wrong, I will not believe that god exists. The Bible is not proof. Anecdotes and personal stories are not proof. Nature is not proof. Feelings are not proof. [/b]
