I just think you are generalizing. In my experience, atheists are more like myself than the vocal few you see all over the internet. Same with religious people. The extreme crazy ones do not define all of them.


Edit: Also, you comments about souls is very un agnostic. Wouldn't an agnostic be unsure of the existence of such things? I've seen some of your other threads and you had a definite bias toward theism. I don't think you're very agnostic at all. You clearly has some ax to grind with atheists.

I just happened to re-read this post of mine and I feel that I owe you all an apology for my poor grammar and typos. Please forgive me.

In a lot of cases that is true. But you have left the door ajar by saying it "sounds like an escape". Leaving that door ajar is a wise move imo.

Believe only in what your own senses and intuition confirm.
