Atheism is the fastest growing religion in America.

Though I appreciate both your efforts in responding to my question I feel I have been left somewhat unsatisfied in my wish for an answer.



Mostly frustration, it's hard to argue about the existence of a all knowing God and define the reason of proof as faith. Faith is the big stumbling block. It's what separates us. it doesn't rely on any of our scientific senses. so to the completely logical mind how can you prove him real? It's just something that sweeps over some people, and when it does it consumes them and changes them. How to describe that to someone who doesn't believe it and doesn't believe it could happen to you. So the Atheists grow more and more frustrated at the Faith excuse. (because they haven't experienced it).

It's like trying to describe an elephant to a blind man, without using any adjectives. both men will get frustrated and mad. . Its the same with theists and atheists. faith is the key ingredient


and mainly this is PaRd and it's more funnist whenever we dont get along to good

So it's jealousy then? I must admit you confuse me. I thought the concept of faith a simple one.

Simple, yes, but many of us see faith as a vice.

What I dislike is the destructive power unleashed by the hordes of people who don't think that the Earth is their true home. They are essentially refusing to believe that the Earth is the center of the universe.

It isn't, though. It isn't even the center of our own solar system.


Edit: it is our home though.
