The very same believers you seek to distance yourself from.  I guess it;s nice that your beliefs give you purpose?  We put fake rabbits on tracks to give greyhounds purpose.  Fantasy works for them, too.  Until they catch the thing..then it;s nothing but tears and misery.  


Then you;re simply  wrong.  It may be an inherent part of you, but it;s not something I've struggled with.

Did you grow up in a believing family? If you did, then you are going to believe what you were told, because, lol, kids learn from their parents.

I think the difference between myself and the christians gone atheist is that I understand that I have to believe in God because it's so ingraned in my neuropsychology from being brought up in a home that believed in God. *shrug*

And I don't believe you have never considered that God is real. I don't understand why you would be on this forum without an intrinsic motivation that is based on an antithesis to a belief that is so ingrained in the west that there is really no escaping the cultural influence on an individual from the idea of God. Unless you were immersed in a culture that didn't believe in God and yet your parents did, then I would say that opens the door for gray area, but otherwise I see no escaping it.


Wow, read any good Poe lately?

Okay, you've had your lark.  Now why don't you tell us who you really are and what you actually believe.  Bye.
