I do believe that to find the right religion or non, you should find one that you can identify with, that coincides with the laws of society. I have already defined who and what God is. I was just trying to understand the point you were trying to get across with that statement.

I can see how you came to this conclusion, it makes sense. Have many Atheists told you this? I think that its bad enough to have to grow up without love I do not think that if their was a God he would make his love inaccessible to them.

Just because man chooses to do his will I do not believe that makes him/her evil. I don't think that Gods will is the only good will. I know many people including myself that volunteer, and would do anything to help out our fellow man. I think it really depends on the individual. If someone is evil, then their evil. Religion or no religion.

I saw this article today, and realized it adds a very ironic twist to this topic - it really indicates that there is nothing to fear about atheism.

It is a great article. I especially love this particular part:

Feared To Atheists

Here's an interesting little project from a once-staunch Christian named Brian Fleming, as quoted from Newsweek:

Atheists Not To Be Feared!

I had a few very good laughs reading this thread (at the expense of religious people, but that's just my point of view). It seems that there is an unsourmountable obstacle of communication, namely no common starting point, or set of axioms. One party basing all their conclusions on the belief that everything has its ultimate source in God, and the other basing it on the natural laws. How can there ever be an agreement on the state of things, if the very point of departure is different?

However, in my experience, atheists are much more tolerant to those that think (believe) differently. But that, perhaps, is understandable, since they don't hold that by believing in God, one is eternally damned, but only that he's a poor misguided creature that will come to no harm because of it in the end.

Well, now that us religious folks have humored you what thoughts of substance do you bring to the topic?

I would not say so, just very different perspectives. If you stand on the right of an object and another person stands on the left of it you will still both see the same object, but only from your perspective. Choosing to believe / accept is different to communication / understanding. One may understand or communicate what one believes, but not necessarily believe or accept, but that does not mean they do not understand.

I believe there is a common starting point, but it is in going back through the various sources is where disagreement is had. For instance, an atheist and I both believe there are laws governing nature, we believe that we are and have grown through biological reproduction. However, our case becomes different when we compare our papers on the source of these laws and biochemicals being first established. A good example of this is medical doctors, they are logical thinkers, yet many of them find things happening that are beyond explained science and theory, they then attribute it to a higher source that is beyond the natural laws.

Wow, you must be living in a nice area, just recently we had one join here and spammed, swore and insulted everyone just because we believe in God - in actuality we get those types pretty often. From my experience they tend to be the most closed minded people you can ever meet in that they get offended just because you have a belief system, but again, that is from my experience.

You wrote in one of the previous posts:

That, for example, is something I can't accept, so how are we to discuss any more complex subjects, if you build your arguments on the above premise?

Then he was primarily a jerk, and they come in all beliefs and religions.

Or he might have felt deeply insulted by things like:
