    As far as a helping hand goes wannalandy - you won't see it even if it hits you in the face - for you are a self-made man. Good philosophy to take all the credit for your success and blame all the tragedy in your life on God? Smacks of double standards in my opinion
    I'm more interested in reason than in faith, and I know that, viewed logically, the "God" theory is highly improbable. As Richard Dawkins points out, for those who haven't read "The God Delusion", there could be teapots orbiting the earth. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they're not there. But it's very, very unlikely. Your evidence is not evidence at all. You're merely drawing your own conclusions to suit the things that you want to believe without any factual basis. Why is it a pity that I don't believe? Does that somehow make it less real for you? Frankly I think it's a pity when people choose to abandon reason and logic (or worse, contradict and undermine science).

Sorry but what i said is that i have seen and know people that have actually seen certain things happen that goes so far against locig and/or science that it's not even funny - yet it happened Why is it a pity that I don't believe? not at all - your choice - but ever try to read books to the affirmative and not the negative? you seem to only read stuff that proves God not to exist Does that somehow make it less real for you? no, not at all Frankly I think it's a pity when people choose to abandon reason and logic (or worse, contradict and undermine science) this point we can discuss till end of time - for the record i also like science, it has it's uses. And i think it's a pity when people can't accept things that are a bit out there, but still has heaps of facts and proof anyway. Same as your science can prove certain things - just so it cannot disprove other things .
    I will leave it at this now - before we start a war

    Thank goodness we live in a society where we can air our views and continue to drive Landrovers

    I agree and unfortunately perhaps some would have achieved even more goodness if they had not joined a religion.

    I'm an atheist, but it's not by choice.


























    It's the way God made me.

    Nobody's starting a war. It's a discussion - and one that's worth having. The last thing we need is for it to be a subject that's so sacred that we can't discuss it without offending somebody.

    You're right. It's wonderful to live in a society where we can express ourselves freely and drive Land Rovers. Both are rights that I couldn't live without.
