Personally for myself, I'm not an optimistic person. Or a pessimistic one for that matter. I feel I'm pretty realistic. I won't hope for something to be true unless I feel there is very good chance that it is.
As I said in another thread, I do find atheism the least likely scenario. If I wasn't Christian I would be a deist because to me, it seems logical that there would be more out there besides the physical. Though that's a conversation for another thread.
I was just going by his OP, where he says he was a staunch atheist, and then said being an atheist stinks, and the religion reality is much better. Which is fine, but if he were staunch, I assume that means he was fairly sure there wasn't a God, and then it sounds like he was swayed because things would be nicer if there were a God.
I'll start that another thread sometime.
