@musicalmac: By all means, tell me the valid reason one would come to accept athesim? I really have no need to justify why I came to my beliefs to you, my opinions are my own, you have your own. I assure you, I'm far from simple minded. It's kind of weird my lack of religion offends you. Apparently America does hate atheists.

@musicalmac: Shallow at best? That's quite the assumption. I'm more versed in religion, not just christianity, than most. Most christians I've come across are taught if it's not christianity, it's evil and wrong and won't even consider alternatives. Morality and such aren't exclusive to christians either.
That may be true in an anecdotal sense, but it's likely untrue on a broader scale. It's worth acknowledging the fact that the vocal minority is just that.
I think this post here outs you a little bit, I don't believe you're quite as well versed as you claim to be. I recommend you embrace the criticism and ask why I've leveled it against you, and not dig in your heels and try to further explain your points. Unless of course you're confident that your position is strong enough to do just that.
I don't even get what you're trying to say. My looking into various religions which has lead me to my personal conclusions about religion are wrong? I'm glad you know me well enough to doubt the extent of my 30+ years of religious examination. My statements are about what I believe and why without writing an essay about it. On another note, If my daughter came home with a religious guy, I probably wouldn't care.

It's been my research into religions throughout history that has contributed to my being an atheist. There are things we as humans will probably never know and some of us find comfort in using god to explain what we don't know. Why are we here? God made us! What happens when we die? We go see god! Why does the universe exist? God made it! Who made god? Oh, he was always there...
