"Like some atheists say, "If there is no God then there ought to be one"... "

Hmm...don't think I've ever heard an atheist say that.

I've sure heard a lot of them say that human societies need gods to reinforce the rules of society and to explain what is unexplainable to that society. So, they invent the ones that work for their society.

That's my view, as well.

I must deal with a better quality of atheist than you do..
No matter.. Only the arrogant can say there is no God.. or the same on the other side.. that there is one.. it takes faith to believe either way.. Hell, it takes faith to believe your car will make it to the Mall(and back again).. Who knows what could happen along the way.?. Having faith is very common on this planet.. depends on what you have faith in, is the rub...
