All you have to do to understand an atheist's point of view is this: Tell a subordinate of yours (child, employee, friend) that you are entitled to be addressed as 'sir' and only 'sir' from now on. You will probably receive the question 'why?' and you are to respond with 'because.' Observe their reaction.

Sorry to sound defensive, that was not my intention, I understand an atheists point of view perfectly, I am not a religous person and I understand where you are coming from with asking to be called sir analogy because I disagree with anyone attempting to force their beleif on others, however I find athiesm can be a very closed minded view of the world and a lot of people posting their atheist views come across with a superior attitude to those who have their belifs..

My beleif is that since even with science we know so very little about our universe (and absolutely nothing about what lays beyond) the argument that god does not exist because he cannot be proved is a little futile, I don't like organised religion because I find it secular and exclusionist but i respect their beliefs and accept that they may be valid. Just becuase you are unable to have faith doesn't mean that those who have are in any way less mentally capable or gullible
