Having been born an innocent impressionable child, it wasn't long before i was sent to school to receive my education. Catholic School to be precise. From the age of 4 (i was the eldest in my year) i was taught the Gospels. I ...[text shortened]... finally realised you were me all along.

No, you're misunderstanding. If someone is an atheist and they are writing a book on atheism, they A)Don't believe in God (evidently) and B) should make no apology for that. That is what i'm saying. The book they are writing is a totally different view of existence that does not include God at any point. Why would they then show respect for something that they do not believe to be true? It's like writing a children's novel with pornographic pictures in, it's a complete contradiction.

Yes it would. I wrote that long description of my beliefs to highlight how they have changed. Who knows, they may change again, but not without a reason. Belief without reason is like sleeping your life away.

Am i making sense?....sometimes i ramble on......
I agree. After all, God does not force himself on anyone so what gives us the right? Are we better than God? If you ever find yourself coersed into a position of either unbelief or belief then know that God is not behind it, rather, man probably is. I think Christianity had its "dark period" in which it was thought that forcing what was percieved to be the truth down peoples throats was the answer. Unfortunatly, the lesson has not been learned by all.

One of the truest things I've read on the RHP fora. But sometimes you believe in things without reason. Heck it's human. And even cientists do it regarding some of their ideas.
By the way (slightly off topic) but do you know that one of the earlier proponents of the big bang theory was a priest? His name was lemaitre and besides being a priest he was physicist and knew very well how to separate the two realms.

I didn't know that. I wonder what his thoughts were on evolution?
Thank God, i'm an atheist!
