The interesting thing to me to note is that this is what every missionary, proselytizer and apologist is up against. The person suggesting they have a reason for you to consider a god other than the one you're already going steady with is not likely to get a warm welcome. And those like myself not in any relationship with a god aren't necessarily looking for one .. so stop trying to fix us up*!

*Not addressed to you, Fr0d0. I know you're fine with self determination .. followed by eternal damnation of course. Wink

Wow, did NOT know the English word "proselytizer". Thank you!!!

I fully agree with "so stop trying to fix us up!"!
I apollogize deeply if i gave the feeling that i wanted 'answers' to be forced. Love > believe may never be forced. Because then you start killing people. Thank you, i shut up after this magnificent answer, Whateverist!
1. If i step backwards, i am preparing to jump.
2. If you will not do it, i will.
3. I have never met a person who does not believe (in some...thing)
