"I have a feeling you've got a history you aren't sharing, something that hurts like hell and isn't easy to explain, either..."

I have a lot of history I don't share here, but none of it has to do with my atheism. I've made no secret of how I came to atheism in other threads. It has nothing to do with pain at all, but rather with study and thought.

You're welcome to your beliefs, and I will not attempt to discourage you in them. However, I will point out that Jesus has not returned in the allotted time set out in the Bible. If you need a reference for that, I will be happy to provide it.

You believe in your religion, and that's fine. Others have different beliefs. Christianity is the religion of less than 1/3 of the world's population. You believe your religion to be the correct one. Others feel differently. Myself, I reject them all as superstitious claptrap.

Do you believe in a Creator?

If you need a reference for that, I will be happy to provide it.

Please do.
