Ah, an Atheist Evangelist responds. You will note, if you choose to reread, that I said it was the delivery that mattered, and that I am not a capable enough writer to relay that point. As to fuzzy thinking, it's religion. It's fuzzy. And?
As to the universe scaring me, it should. We're insignificant bugs. There's a lot of scary stuff out there. We should be afraid. You will note that I ended the post with a statement giving the conditions under which I would believe. This implies, correctly, that I do not believe.
The only thing that is obvious here is that you did not take the time to comprehend what I posted. If you had, you would not assume that I'd been swayed, nor make the accussation that I was waiting to be swayed. You would also have noted that I mentioned the delivery, not the words, as what gave the statement its' profundity.
I believe in nothing simply because I want it to be so. It is not in me to simply accept that which I cannot prove, or cannot accept proof of. It is not in me because I don't feel it deep down, as that fellow I referenced said. Fuzzy thinking? Whatever. Crusade all you want. I am no atheist simply because I will allow myself to associate with a belief system that identifies itself solely in the negative.
Athiests waste entirely too much energy and time simply being negative towards other people whose beliefs offend them. If God and religion are such farces, why do you care? If people that you cannot like, will never enjoy the company of, decide to delude themselves as to the nature of reality, what business is it of yours? Give a reason why you crusade against religion. What principle drives you?
