Answer 1

yeppers

Answer 2

What do you want us to comment about. I guess I'm the cynic in a way. I don't really care, and I wish that other people would stop wasting their time arguing about who is right and wrong. I wonder why they care so much.

I understand if a belief in God does amazing things for you, but it hasn't done anything for me. That is great for you that you have a God in your life. Personally, I don't care... and I don't need a God in my life to make it any better than it already is. Even through the hard times, I never found any comfort in a belief in God, and I do think that a belief in him is all that I believe in, since I don't believe that outside of the human mind that a God truly exists.

I don't know of any "militant" or fanatic atheists. I think they just don't believe and don't really care what others believe in as long as those people don't force their beliefs on them. I don't have a problem with anyone's belief, but as soon as your religious laws start to be enforced on me and the rest of the US citizens, well then I have a problem (like banning stem-cell research, gay marriage and so forth because of religious morals).
