I'll make a fresh reply even though I'm sure I've answered the question a few times now.
For me it wouldn't be as simple as believing or not believing because of one thing or another.
There are things that make me think about the existence of a god, the possibility of it. There's nothing so far I've seen that makes me think any of the main stream religions are right.
Because I've not seen anything that remotely makes me think there's anything to mainstream religions there's never been much point in thinking about god.
I don't believe if there's a God he wants me to do what other people say he wants me to do, if he exists fine, if not fine. I just get on with it.
Wrong.
The fact that atheists keep on replying again and again it means that this issue create interest regarding how many times it pop up before.
Not only that Paul.
The issue will never stop popping up like a spring because something within tell us that inside and within there is a hidden treasure.
If nothing would be there then the question would have already been put at rest but it doesn't and never will until the treasure is allowed to reach the surface.
