Ade I am not suggesting people as being ignorant but to give this subject justice it does require an open mind and also an knowledge of spiritual issues. The analogy I feel is justified for the reasons I gave.

I also was brought up in a strict catholic family but after looking at that religion and many others I found what I was looking for in Christianity.

As you are an atheist I would support you and stand up for your right to be an Atheist as I would any other religion, faith or walk of life.

Yes there are many things that we dont understand on this planet or the universe but for me as a Christian I put my faith in the God of the Bible.
I would not ever say that I am a better person than the next because of my faith because I am only a forgiven sinner.
Life is a privilege and I totally respect your views on this subject
