I would rather not start a confrontational religious debate on a Muse site, if you don't mind. The social group (Atheist Musers) that I've set up does not try to offend anyone. It is only there for those who share my opinions. And my opinion is just that -- an opinion, nothing more. If your opinion differs from mine (I suspect that it does), -- then I shall respect it without agreeing with it. The only thing I may suggest to you is a book by Richard Dawkins called 'The God Delusion". I have reached many of my conclusions on the subject of religion after reading that book. Dawkins certainly can explain things FAR better than me.

Cheers!
