Proof of existence of god.

[The Grand Nudger]

With regard to the subject in question, there isn't an ounce of agnosticism in my body. Tack, my aggressiveness towards religion could be interpreted as "hateful", but you would have to ignore the fact that my take on christianity is that it is a fundamentally bigoted and ethnocentric worldview, that there is nothing that religious faith offers that cannot be achieved through less disgusting means. Apparently those fruits you spoke of are one of those things. I use my own head as a measure of improvement btw (you don't?). When I feel that I could have handled something better, I try to do so the next time, ad infinitum. I don't think you could demonstrate any other method by which human beings do the whole self-improvement bit. I think your morality is identical to mine in origin. I wouldn't exactly put the central character of the bible in some moral limelight (as a standard to judge relative levels of "morality"), because it would be an embarrassment. Call that hateful if you like, but I'm just trying to stand up to all the nastiness we wrote into our beliefs.
