He might not exist too, so I might just be wasting my breath (and a few keystrokes)...and these few electronic bits it takes to put these ideas down on the internet. So peeps like you, stabiz (and subchaser12 too), shouldn't worrry at all if you DON'T believe this God exists.

Way to hedge your bets.:rotfl:
And I am just teasing, because I used to be a devout Christian, but the more I look at the evidence the more doubts I had. Note I said "doubts". I'm not an atheist by any means, for the same reason that I am no longer a believer. I have a long history of being wrong, and my doubts began while I still believed. I question people who feel they have to prove their faith (or that they even can), because isn't that what faith's all about - believing the unbelievable? Likewise I can't be a hardcore atheist because that also involves faith.
My final answer is always the same: "I don't know". Sometimes I add "And I don't think you do either", but that's because I don't trust people who display that kind of certainty. And I also don't know why I felt the need to tell you that, and didn't mean to wander off topic.
