haven't yet found any compelling reason for believing in a god yet, but might be able to accept one on such a basis.

What you and the other evos are calling belief in God is called deism: the belief in God as Creator of the universe but the disbelief in Him as active ruler and guide as known from revelation. It is just atheism for those who are too cowardly to call themselves atheists. It is certainly unChristian and by rejecting the Word leads to the same lack of morals as atheism.

I'm so glad you are morally superior. I'd hate the think you superiority was limited to your intellect.

I would, however, like to see your evidence, bilbical or otherwise, that believers are better behaved than non-believers or Deists.

Weren't Washington and Jefferson, among other Founders, Deists?
