Once again you are presuming something about me.
I was merely reaffirming your statement about man is
his own worst enemy is all!
But, whatever you wanna think is fine with me!
Um, ya, I'll be waiting for man to get it together on his own.
Wonder how long I have to wait before we destroy ourselves
in the meantime?
Ya, thats progress! Keep the hope alive!

Are commas the now functioning as periods? Is english your second langauge? Or even better yet do you honestly expect me to believe that? Might wish to re-read your post.
One does not need to be able to control thoughts to attempt to frusterate an debate opponent thusly making the debate opponent render unto one the feeling of illusionary feeling of having "won" the argument.

Perhaps it's a she. But regardless. You are crossing that line between fact and opinion again. But I am now intrigued, how do you know this for sure? Seeing as to how you are so sure. I would have imagined discounting the stories would be how one grew to no believe. Makes it sound like you did not approach the question very objectively and are only seeking to prove preconceptions about a question that is really unanswerable at this juncture.

Perhaps "gawd" is a she. Who knows in the end.

If one assumed that the part of the Bible about the Earth being 6000 years old is a misprint or "misconception," or even altered, then God is still pretty much a very valid concept. People have been brainwashed with the idea that since evolution exists, God must not exist. That's not true. There are many details about evolution that pretty much require "God" as an explanation. Same thing with the origin of anything.

Now anything with matter cannot leave the universe either. Some unknown force starts to push back any objects trying to leave the universe boundaries.

Before I didn't believe in God,
I thought of God as someone that only a weak person would turn to,
Then I became an agnostic,
I looked at the complexity of this universe and did not think it was a coincidence,
Then I became an atheist,
I realized that religion is the only thing that has convinced people that is an invisible man in the sky.
But now, I wish that God existed,
If he exists, then anything is possible,
One will not have to live in a mundane world with no purpose,
One can achieve his/her fantasies,
One can change the world.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blest
And our spirit shall sorrow no more
