Quoting myself: "Only a fool or an intellectual could be an atheist". Human arrogance is boundless.

Right… And atheist is simply someone who disbelieves what you claim to be true without proof. So you insult him publicly and claim he’s the “arrogant" one. Nice…

Human arrogance is boundless.

Which is more arrogant of man?

Religion, that claims the creator of the entire universe takes a personal interest in YOUR life, that claims the universe is structured to provide for man's eternal salvation if man so choses it, that claims man can have a personal relationship with God?

Or athiesm, that claims that man is a infinitely small piece of a huge uncaring universe. That man is nothing more than a temporary collection of cells with a finite existence?

Belief in religion requires a much larger ego and is a much greater statement of arrogance on the part of mankind.
