You are incapable of doing that.No, I think people do have reasons to believe in a god. I just think they are mistaken about those reasons. If I say someone is wrong, is that disrespecting them in any way? I think not. I think it's far more respectful to be honest with them. If you are offended by that, then that is your problem.
You do not offend me.
I did not say your disbelief is irrational.

And why should I believe your beliefs are any more rational if I have found no reason to believe in them after many years of looking into it? The only way I think I could get around offending you here is if I started believing as well. I'm still not sorry that this offends you. I am still not disrespecting you no matter how you say you feel about it. Your feelings are your own to control.
