These guys are irritating to me not only as an atheist but as a former Christian, and I'm not even 30 pages in!
Christians seem to be very uncomfortable with three little words: I don't know. Which is odd because they are very comfortable with three other words which mean much the same thing: It's a mystery.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
