thank you and perhaps given more time and more thought and more evidence you may decide that your initial view was correct after all and that you find yourself agreeing with me once more.:) And perhaps you then find that I have come across some new information which I have given some more thought over some more time and now you find that I am still at odds with your view. I also used to have a very similar view of the world as you present in your post i.e., an atheistic view so we both have the same experience in reverse. Perhaps the truth is we simply choose the belief system that makes us feel comfortable and may fit best with the personal choices we make for ourselves in our lives. Again. I reserve the right to be wrong and it is a great thing when two men or women are able to control their emotional responses long enough to disagree with each other in polite, respectful conversation, so thank you again.
