So what! It's only his opinion.

I would rather live my life as if there is no God and die and find out there is, than to live my life as if there is a God and find out there isn't.

Because it's dumb. :roll:

Wondered how long it would take them to place this in the attic. I posted the same some time back and that is where it ended up.

Good story, from what seems like an honest man, who is searching for the truth, as he sees it.

Of course it's his opinion. Whose opinion did you think it was? Surely not yours? Does he know you?

Why is it so important to you that nobody should believe in a God? Are you really THAT small-minded?

Maybe MajicRay was referring to the article and the man who wrote it and not to himself?

You may be just a bit too quick to judge?

"searching for the truth, as he sees it"

Searching for truth - with a closed mind? That is what you are saying. As he sees it and no other way but his way.

Why post it at all? It just upsets those who believe.

Correction Ray... not WE but YOU... Just as I believe that God does exist, you believe he does not.

It doesn't upset me.
Makes me go deeper, makes me think feel and explore.
The spiritual path is a journey. I question all the time.

That statement is not that dumb. As you probably know nothing is ever just black and white. Many shades of gray in between

Well, maybe you are right, but if it upsets those who "believe" just maybe they question their belief? Those firm in their belief are not upset by what another says?
