Re: funny?
No, this is not correct. I am not so weak minded as to rely on how other people behave as to determine what I think is true or not. I know plenty of scientists who are absolute worthless piles of crud as people but their scientific data is sound and conclusions supported. The issue I share in common with schraf is that I have experienced that Xians who pretend to be morally and ethically superior are actually completely hypocritical and some of the worst behaved and anti-social people I have met. I therefore found the church or any organized religion to be a waste of my time. Not believing in the xian or any other god/gods is a separate issue.

He is nowhere so I am not going to do anything about it...I am also not going to look for Vishnu, unicorns, santa claus, or invisible sentient goats behind my freezer. I will continue to live and enjoy my life as I have for the last 37 years.
