I am curious Santabot, I see you know secular works, have you ever read the Bible for comprehension of their beliefs? |

You obviously consider yourself an atheist...a 17 year old atheist. Well I've got news for ya ...there are no true atheists, only those who profess atheism. I could'nt help but notice that one of the quotes you posted was by Blaise Pascal. You should look up "Pascal's Wager" when ya have the time.

Declaring such would submit me to claiming a particular organized religion, or loosely based one at that, of which I'm not a part of. I make my own decisions and views based on as much information as I can gather, from all angles of the deal, and from first-hand experience where applicable. |

LOL, you are so funny Tbelle! I wonder if someone is going to call me another ugly name for supporting you again. LOL.
Seriously, I would not waste anymore time with Santabot. He is not credible. I am moving on.

I'll continue to stick with that, and trust me, I won't deviate from that, hopefully for the rest of my life, but if someone of reasonable intellect that can calmly and orderly avert my views to something other than that, you deserve a box of cookies. |

I still haven't even gotten to know any of you well, and I still have no negative views of any of you, but you still all seem to think I'm "out to get you" and trying to impede on your ability to freely believe what you believe religiously, politically, etc. Do so, do it all you wish, I support your decisions either way, but I would also like to put out what my education has taught me, and if someone else can stick me into a hole, I usually listen, and you may not see me change my views, but I think a lot more than most about things like this, and that's how I may appear to be well-prepared; it's just how I am. I would be more than happy to make friends here, but I won't do that without gaining respect from members who are there to show their knowledge, true compassion (not emotionally concocted euphemisms), and reason. I thank you all for your time in debating with me, but even if I seem to be aggressive in posting, I'm one of the calmest and clear-minded people you could meet in reality, and the odd thing is we all live so close, yet think twice passing each other on the road or anywhere else! |

But I do not claim "I am an atheist" because doing so would make me related to a specific organization or loose collectivist idea to which I don't necessarily represent or uphold. I have my own personal beliefs, and those beliefs do not include a deity, yes, if that is what you want me to explain. |

I spent the first 20 years of life, 'not believing'. I was "too smart" for that. But I've changed my mind a bit about all that in the last 20 years. I've seen too much, experienced too much, to easily explain away everything. |
