And ignorance is your comfort zone. My religion leads to much discomfort (e.g. standing up for God only to be attacked by anti-theists). Some people are killed for sharing the gospel.

How am I ignorant if I am seeking evidence for god's existence?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I hope I show the same respect. You've definitely been one of the most respectful atheists on this forum. But I can't stop thinking you're wrong.

I appreciate that too. I do not expect you to think I am right. Clearly we share different opinions but that's the reason for this debate after all.

I like to see things to believe often times, but certainly not always. There are many things I can't see and basically no things I can infallibly prove. The case of God is different than some guy claiming he can fly.

How is it different?

[quote='ecolox']What does that mean - both the good and the evil?

As I said:

I feel very much enlightened and alive because I am embracing life and all it has to offer.

Whats that got to do with good and evil? My statement in response to your good and evil is as follows:

There will always be good and evil irregardless of religion. The desire to steal, to be greedy...etc.. are all explainable with science. Religion as I said is merely a comfort zone because you desire something to make your own life worth living.

[quote='ecolox']Yes, you put your eggs in the trash compactor.

What are you talking about?

That was supposed to read "...because I pray my life is less convenient". I don't know why you keep misquoting me.

I had another look and realized I read it wrongly. I apologize.

My stand is still firm though, that prayer does nothing. We make things happen on our own.

Of course people who reject God are going to find me to be a dismal failure. Righteousness is allegiance to God.

Do you know the definition of "righteousness"? the quality or state of being just or rightful; morally right

I do not have to believe in a supreme being to do what is right in life.
