Maybe, maybe not. Not absolutely eitherway on my case anyway, methinks. I certainly don't think God exists and I disagree strongly on your views on the Chemo Thread, etc...
But I think I can find perhaps some common ground. I do respect/agree with the following of your post for example:

- Respect and agreed.

- & Respect there.
- I offer the same 'right(s)' to you too. I on the other hand am an atheist, but I respect your right to your beliefs as you say you do mine. I don't respect your beliefs themselves though. Because I can't help but think they're ridiculous - I have my own strongly held reasons that I in fact do believe your beliefs are ridiculous. I do. respect your 'right' to hold them though as I said
So I guess there is some common ground eh? I do think you are illogical/irrational in many ways though. I'm not saying you're necessarily stupid though, I just think at least your religious beliefs are. Despite the fact I respect your 'right(s)' to 'hold them'.
