 If you're so sure then why are you even bothering to read this newsgroup?
Does it stroke your ego and make you feel important to insult those who do
believe in God - and even those (such as I) who are open minded enough to 
admit to the possibility of a God?
 Everything in this world must be taken on faith as well as evidence. We 
believe in a theory until have evidence to the contrary - but we don't always  
throw the theory out altogether, we simply make alterations to it that make 
it include the new information or add reasons for exceptions. Each person must 
make his or her own decision what to or what not to believe. A mature person 
has respect for other's viewpoints, even when he/she doesn't agree. 
 It is childish at best to degrade someone for their personal beliefs no matter
how different they may be from yours. Such an attitude has often been discribed
here as what people dislike most about Christians (and I use the term 
loosely). Personally, I only bother with Christians (or anyone else for that 
matter) with positive, loving attitudes. Those with negative, hateful attitudes 
are rarely worth knowing.
