I am a bit late to this thread, and other people have already responded more or less as I would have, so I will only comment on this last bit.
PLEASE, CL, please tell me that this is you just being facetious! You've been here long enough to understand (hopefully
) that we are not 'angry at the idea of a god', we actually do not believe a god exists.What is it? Is your automatic Catholic indoctrination kicking in? I've had more than my share of Catholics dishonestly inform me, that I am an atheist because I am 'angry at god'.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
