okay then you're not an atheist, your an atheist about a personal, supernatural intervetionalist god?

Well, I think Richard Dawkins
is a fool...and i have found most of his disciples to be just as fanatical as they claim religous fanatics are only their fanaticism is hatred of religion....... he has little or no understanding of humanity or human nature that's for sure.
. He's certainly done nothing to warrant being treated with any respect or courtesy since he has none for other people -- and his arrogance crosses over to idiocy. But I have read enough history to see those who claim to embrace absolute reason and rationality usually end up killing a whole lot of people from 1789 onward....

okay but it's a pretty big question to leave lying around eh? I look at religion or spirituality, if you prefer, as this - take some time to dwell on it - you don t have to be a pro - you don't have to be a professional tennis player to own a racket and have a match once in awhile. i look at prayer or reading theology as that - dwelling upon a question.
