Opinions and conclusions about Religion and God.

Great topic, Phat. Similar to Purple Youko, I too have traveled this particular path, except exchange Jehovah's Witness with Roman Catholic. I was born, baptized, and built into an archetypal Xian. As a child, like so many others, I had questions, but, instead of asking them, I inhibited them for quite some time, roughly until the age of eighteen. Why? Because I often received and later expected the answers to be, "because God said so, or wants it that way, or made it that way, or won't allow that, etc".This isn't a reproach against my parents, or religion. I'm rather glad I have become disillusioned, and removed the Xian chip implanted over 20 years ago. So, currently, like Purple Youko,and many others, I am a "weak athiest". The idea that the divine doesn't exist is justified by a lack of evidence; however, I still cannot fully claim, like I once did, that the divine surely doesn't exist. There is always a possibility, and I for one embrace the uncertainty.P.S. If my defintion of a "weak athiest" is incorrect, please, constructive criticism is most welcomed.
