    Hey stOx, here's a question for you. Why do you need me to define Atheist for you, or confirm your definition? I know the dictionary is a scary book because it has soooooo many pages, but its well organized in alphabetical order. The alphabet is that thing that starts with the letter A.... and ends in Z. One could easily use the dictionary to look up the definition of the word Atheist, in the 'A' section, and then look up the definition of the word Agnostic, also in the 'A' section, and then properly understand what the difference is. Of course this is no where near as fun as making up your own definitions which allows you to declare two words as meaning the same thing and calling it a
    , and it does have the down side of disproving idiotic claims. Anyway, I don't want to trouble your mind with such troublesome information so I'll just nod, smile, and slowly step away from the starry eyed zealot.


    Yeah, that just happened!

    I don't believe in any god, and I never will.

    Look at all the problems religon has caused the world.

    In my opinion, people just believe in God to hide their fears or problems.

    You do understand there is a difference between belief in god and religion? Also a difference in the belief in an intelligence behind the universe and the belief in a personal deity? Have you thought through those concepts and figured out where you stand on those very separate and individual issues?

    Not gonna argue the point one way or the other, but acting like everyone who believes in God is an idiot kinda falls flat when you consider some of the folks that've gone on record as believing in a supreme being. I'm not talking about DP members that've said it, I mean recognized scholars. The fact that some others don't doesn't exactly offset those that do.

    It's of course anyones prerogative to believe as they wish, but those that've belittled others for their faith... well, just seems arrogant and unnecessary.

    Guys,

    Here is my 2 cents words regarding this topic.

    How computer was invented? Do you believe if someone says that he was sitting on chair and suddenly he saw that some electronic machines and robots appeared and machines begin assembling computers. Spare parts was falling from air and machines were assembling those parts into computer and this way computer was invented.

    I am sure no one will believe on this. There is nothing in world that is not made by someone. There is nothing that is created itself. In same sense there is one Super Natural Power that is GOD who created all this universe and nature. And then nature creates further systems and goods.

    Just my 2 cents words. I Believe on ONE GOD. :)

    Regards
