I should be flattered Fr0ds that you are quote mining me. As typical you pick around the edges and don't address the full argument. Oh and you fixed nowt btw. I never claimed materialism was true, just that atheism was and have provided some of the arguments I find compelling, and explained my reasoning as to why I am not an agnostic atheist. But I do not expect agnostic atheists nor theists to concede that: "I was right". It is merely a personal testimony and others like you have different opinions. That's ok this isn't clear cut stuff, and if it was we would all be either theists, agnostics or atheists. The important thing is that we all try our best and operate according to our personal integrity and what we believe to be true, i certainly do and try to give my reasons as to why. What really is irritating is the projection of hubris from a perceived intellectually superior position, when it is not argued for nor addresses the points raised. I have no idea why you want to introduce materialism into this, which is a specific claim about the nature of reality that atheists may/may not sign up to (most probably do in some form), but you seem to want to introduce it at any turn like your playing some ace trump card. Why?
