Thank you everyone. Its nice to hear that I'm so welcome here.
Darwinian - Thank you for the reference. I can assure you that I'm quite far from being a theist who would say such horrible things as in that list. I find that saying things like that in the link you gave me serve only to drive people away more than anything else. So you can bet that I won't act like that and I will therefore never post anything like those comments. I pretty much think that people are being very rude when they say things like that.
I didn't come here to try to convert anyone to theism. It would silly to think that someone could approach an atheist and convince them they're wrong. I would never be so foolish to think I'd be any different.
The reason for this is because we have atheists who come to our Christian discussion group and, of course, like to tell us how illogical we are and if they only listened to them then we'd learn the truth, that there is no God. For this reason I'd like to better understand how and what atheists think. So if/when I ask questions then take note that they are only meant for me to learn.
Thanks everyone
Pete
