Say what you will, it's the truth...There should be absolutely no reason for atheists to band together on an argument when their position is demonstrably false and has nothing to do with religion...

Perhaps you could start another thread rather than hijack this one.

During your reflections have you ever felt the presence of Love coming from outside yourself?

I see 'holy books' as treasure trove of insights into how people from distant times and far away places what experienced and tried to make sense of that mystery. Yes, they often include various prohibitions and obligations, but those seem more like culture specific ways to attain and preserve that relationship with the source of that mystery. I realize that literal-minded people, believers and skeptics alike, don't take that approach. I find that very sad.
