Arcanus,
I meant no disrespect; I just didn't want to assume that you knew everything I know based on some halo effect. I would say that my rejection of God is based on a scientific assesment of the available data. When I say rejection, I really mean a passive consequence that came about while looking for deeper knowledge of God.
Solarwave,
What I am about to say may be hard to believe but you must accept it to move forward in your understanding. I did not seek atheism, it found me as a side effect of increasing my knowledge of how the world works. I would love to believe but simply cannot. I did not trade God in for freedom and at first my "revelation" bummed me out to the uttermost, but belief is a reaction to knowledge, not something you can control.
