Truth be said, at one point I just dropped the concept of a God entirely.
Your secret is safe with me.

It's okay, I'm not really looking for someone to help me "escape God", this forum helped me better my english, learn many things about logic, many different arguments, different political beliefs and many other things. This is not the only forum I'm in, I'm in other forums too and from everywhere I learn new and different things. This is just a learning experience for me, when I learn more about atheistic arguments it also helps me form arguments defending my own belief.
Imagine that, a theist with an enquiring mind. Looks like I was right about our generalizations about the infantilizing effects of god belief being taken with a good measure of salt. It isn't literally true that you all want to be put over God's shoulder and burped. Even though I've met a few here for whom it was nearly true, it would be silly to generalize too much here.

Good luck to you too, you're a awesome person.
You're just trying to make me feel bad for the occasional insulting remark. (Well played sir, well played.)
