I'm just bringing to light how ridiculous that whole "you really do believe in god, you just don't want to admit it!" line of reasoning is, since it so often comes up around this question of why we'd still talk about god.

I think you and many other have come across the same problem I have met. If you are being kind to your (theist) opponent, by humoring him, talking about gods like they might exist, they ponce on you with an "Aha, you do believe in god!". If you on the other hand immediately take the stance that there's such a small chance that you'll probably never get proven wrong that there are gods, your opponent whines about how you're disrespectful and hate god in your heart. It's really a lose-lose situation.. '-_-
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
