GOD NO!
I sincerely wish there were a God, but that would make life too easy. You see atheists don't take the path of least resistance, that's what religionists do. We don't give up thought and the attempt to explain existence and hand it to some supernatural force beyond this earth, that's easy, comforting and ultimately childish. We struggle in the face of the inexplicable, wbut we continue to explore within the limitations of our human intellectual abilities. It is better to say 'I don't know' rather that accept some fantastic man-made fiction to explain it all. God is comforting , but pretty unlikely.

Re:
Not even "denudation" would work, I am afraid, SoulBilder.  This would only draw the " unfair and unjust" charge!

Good point. In my youth I was told that If I didn't believe in God, why do I yell 'Oh God' when injured and in pain! Does one have to be totally denuded before God is admitted?

I am looking forward to more. The atheists only seem to knock God and not define who they are!  These I say really have God's attention because He is always on their mind!  sam

 I agree with your thesis, and I'll wait to see the development.
