Atheism to defeat religion by 2038? You do realize that currently 84% of the world's population is religious, don't you? Atheists are a very small minority.
All of your science, logic, and reason will never outweigh personal experience.

Bummer when someone seems to make logical sense.
Then supports it with: "Truth is the Word".

So you're saying that you are open to the possibility of such things as your spirit leaving your body, seeing things before they happen, and aliens defying the laws of physics to visit our planet...
...but the thought of a single creator seems impossible?

Symbolism can only be seen internally when your awareness is broadened beyond self. Virtue is the bridge that takes the scales from the mind.

Well you are an atheist aren't you, did I miss something? Did the one thing that all atheists have in common change from the time you posted it until now?

A person who can see truth is spiritual.
This is because they have overcome the selfish tenancies that lock the only person they were in a constant state of wanting more from the material world. When a baby is born, it is close to the mother's breast. This is because the world it knows it the breast. A person that is locked in the breast of the material world is the same.
Blindness comes from a small awareness. When you begin to look out across the world with virtue and actions that match, awareness expands. Virtue is the bridge between the blind eyes of materialism and the spiritual eyes that can see under the surface of what is seen. Is the ocean the surface and waves only? Dive deep, but be prepared first.
How about awareness beyond the physical and awakened consciousness of the energy spirit. We are the Light of the Light. Nurturing our true self - the consciousness of all that is - will rise us up - above the false world.

There is no doubt this is the aim. We are baptized into the water to rise to new life. The question is, are we rising or dragging others down with us? Read the Word to know. Light can only be used to reveal what it hits. When you look in a mirror, you see your reflection. The mirror cannot show anything else. The Bible is a mirror we see ourselves by.
