I am increasingly of the opinion that a-theism has been the majority of belief (or lack thereof) for the past 2000 years and only the fact that religion is morally compromised to the point of murder is why you will not see the numbers reflected in ANY statistical data set. Undecided

Listening to the faithful (by and large, fundies excluded) describe what their god can and cannot, has and has not, will or will not do it's a reasonable suspicion. Nobody likes to stick their neck out when there's the possibility of meeting the axeman.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

That's possible. I guess I just don't see them around me but then again, if they are in the closet like me, how would I?

Here's a good FB quote my friend just posted that you guys will like:

"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible." -St Thomas Aquinas

She received a TON of positive comments on it... I wanted to reply and say... "no, actually, an explanation IS possible yet you just have offered none." But, I refrained.

I guess the ancient astronaut thing scared him off...my post was the last...haven't heard a thing since.

I was going to post the volumes he wrote...but it'd be the same canned-speech bullshit rebuttals that the "apologetics" are taught to respond with. And I mean...word for word. I've watched the "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist" videos online...my FB friend here is reciting them...literally.
Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata; hiding with the candy, hoping the children do not break through with a stick.
