Well, I suppose I can understand why some theists are threatened by atheism. Personally I'm not. I see no reason to be threatened or afraid of atheism, it's not like atheists are threatening people with guns. Hell, I know of more theists than atheists who do that.

I don't quite see why some of us (theists) are uncomfortable with the current definition of atheist. To change it to the other is to assume we know anything about atheism and that all athesists think the same, in my opinion. Obviously all atheists don't think the same and theists don't know squat about athesim.I agree that "strong atheism" may be a belief, but definately not "gentle atheism".Quote: "I assert that it is, given the evidence available, highly unlikely....but I cannot say that it is impossible."As far as all of the atheists that I have met, I think I respect your opinion on it all the most. You seem to be the most reasonable and level headed that I have met.

Bikerman: You have some very good and very interesting points. To be honest, I've never seen the atheistic argument so well laid out and easily understood. Thank you. ^^

Do you need religious advice? How about romance, life or business? I am nonjudgemental, I am open-minded and support all people of all faiths, races, sexes, sexualities and beliefs. No matter what you need help with, I'll do my best to assist you in a friendly and open way.I am ready and willing to help anyone who asks.

I am interested in learning about other people's beliefs. I myself am deeply religious, but am very open-minded. I want to know what you believe, why you believe it and how it has become a part of you.I am also very interested in learning about the atheist standpoint. I know that there is no set reason why atheists don't believe in deities, which is why I want to know more about them.I am not here to preach, convert or be converted. I am here to learn. I am more than happy to describe my religion if asked.Even if you see some of your beliefs explained, I'd like you to post your views. No two people's views are the same.Thank you for your time. ^^
