Interesting to see a Catholic believer be with a Methodist believer. Was there much contention between the two of them? I see how you went through Catechism, did that help you or hurt you more with your relationship or understanding of God?

Good morning Abaddon,

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the appropriate thread to answer such a question.

Although I would love to hear why you do not believe in the concept of a God. If you would be so kind as to share your story it would be greatly appreciated!

Why isn't it an appropriate question?

Abaddon is merely trying to demonstrate why your logic is bad. What you are doing is selection bias. There are a myriad of god claims you rightfully reject. Try thinking about why you reject Zeus and not the one you believe to be true. 

Abaddon is merely saying you reject Zeus for the same reason Abaddon rejects the one you believe in. The only difference between a theist and an atheist is that we reject one more god claim than you do.
Well, I never said it was an inappropriate question just not the appropriate thread. I suppose I would be willing to get into such a conversation on another thread just not this one because it will lead down a road that will take us away from the OP. Also, I would much rather have Abaddon speak for himself instead of somebody else speaking for him. If you would like to have this conversation on another thread that would be great because you are greatly misconceived on what my thoughts are on Zeus and other gods and would be very surprised as to my answer or maybe not. Lets us not assume and take this matter up in another thread. Thank you!
