> First off, in case you don't know, I'm agnostic. I myself am an atheist.
Raised Catholic by my parents, even went to Catholic schools until 8th grade. I have many reasons for being atheist, not the least of which is proof. I require proof. More than faith, more than belief. Prove it. And don't come back with the "prove there isn't a god" argument that I hear so often. I don't have to. I don't believe in god, you do, the burden is upon you therefore to prove he exists. I married a woman that is, or rather, was religious. Raised by hippies turned tent-revival-fire-and-brimstone Christian types. My wife's father used religion as a weapon, his faith as a reason to brutalize is children physically and mentally. She has been, of late, questioning her faith and upbringing. We have had many a discussion about religion and the lack thereof and god and the lack thereof. We have on many occasions agreed to disagree. You're not alone. One piece of advice, if you have set a boundary of no church services for yourself, stick to it. Be gentle about it, but firm. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
