Re: why I\'m an atheist...
[ QUOTE ]
Funny that you quote Pascal, a talented scientist and mathematician who became a Christian. Here's a little pensée of my own: The uneducated are faithful, the half-learned are atheists, and the truly wise are faithful. That's kind of a Pascal rip-off. For you, the half-learned, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] "Drink the Kool-Aid" -- Jim Jones

Why I'm agnostic... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] What do women scream during coitus? [/ QUOTE ] Some people take these things way too seriously. "Dear Sweet Reason, This may seem a little ridiculous or out of your usual tenor, but my boyfriend is bothered by me saying, “Oh god!” while we are having sex. He is an ardent atheist, while I consider myself to be more of an agnostic. I’ve tried explaining that this is really a moot point, but he seems really bothered by it. I keep hoping he will forget about it, but he just keeps bringing it up. Honestly, it’s the last thing on my mind..."

Re: why I\'m an atheist...
Of all the quotations you cited, only the first has any value aside from rhetoric. And even the first is surely used primarily as rhetoric, as you have used it in this case.
Now, there's nothing wrong with rhetoric, it's surely used by both sides, but understand it for what it is. I doubt you truly believe the following statement, for example: I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.
