I've been a catholic from birth til I was 16 (am now 46) not once in my life has God ever given me guidance or comfort or anything. I would love to have faith to fall back on-life would be a lot less scary if I had a sky daddy- but I never got a damn thing not once.
I've often brought up this exact point when dealing with believers. I tell them that I was once a believer but not once did this deity ever make his presence known to me. Not once did I ever experience any comfort from this being.
The believers then give me some crappola about how "God" was there for me, how he had his loving arms around me, only I didn't realize it.
Barf.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
