I am glad you admitted that someone can be a good person without believing in God. That was all I was looking for.

As for the rest of what you said....If you are right and there truly is a God, then I am probably in some trouble lol. Hopefully though the part of the bible where it talks about the lord being "a forgiving lord" (something like that, I dont remember the exact words) will be true and I will be forgiven for being a non believer.

Perhaps someday ill rediscover my faith, perhaps someday it will rediscover me. At this point I simply am of the mindset that I cant believe in something without at least a little bit of proof.

But I dont have ANY problems with you or anyone else having faith. I think religion is mostly a good thing, I just dont agree with some of it being instilled into our policy or laws, and that is the only time I will argue against religion is if someone is using it to try to get laws passed.

And that is probably the only time you will find me here arguing against it, is if it has something to do with law.
