You’ve described yourself to whoever will listen as an “ardent atheist”. By your own definition an atheist is one who believe God doesn’t exist. How is it off base to suggest you think there is no God?

Jennifer – I will also apologize to you (and anyone else) if what I said offended you (or anyone else.
I do have to say that you are OFF BASE when you claim that I think that there is NO GOD. I NEVER made such a claim and never would. Perhaps if my words and thoughts were read logically and not emotionally, I’d be better understood.
Again, I DID NOT mean for the worded deluded to be offensive – it was just the most appropriate word. I’ve asked Tony what he would have said and I ask you: What word would you use if you were me?
Of course I CANNOT PROVE there isn’t a “god” and I shouldn’t have to. I CANNOT prove that Zeus and Apollo didn’t exist either but we all generally accept that they are myth don’t we?
I’m going to stay away from this subject as I DO NOT enjoy or appreciate being misquoted or mischaracterized: “I know there is no God and ya’ll think there is so your delusional” and “You just don’t WANT to believe in a higher power.”
I’ll also refrain from answering your last question as you already know the answer and I don’t wish to quarrel with an overwhelming majority who will not look past their own superstitions and mythologies.

We don’t AGREE!!! And I don’t think we ever will.

Richard – I must say, I was a little insulted by the word deluded. It came across like a WMD statement. In other words, you were stating “I know there is no God and ya’ll think there is so your delusional.” That couldn’t be further from the truth. You can’t PROVE that there isn’t a GOD. You just don’t WANT to believe in a higher power. So who is delusional?
