You can’t imagine the trouble this article stirred up. This, and a couple that I had previously contributed had the unfortunate consequence of alienating me from certain family members.

I’m hoping that as soon as a few things calm down in my life, I can submit something new. Hopefully you will like it as well. Thanks for this.. you really haven’t any idea how much I needed to see it. Here I thought my letters only served to piss off the locals. (not the reason I write them, but it is an amusing side effect) hehe

I liked the article, Hemant. Thanks for sharing it.

There are many reasons why we don’t believe, but the main reason is simply that there is absolutely no evidence to support the existence of a deity. Myths and myth-making has been around for a very long time. Since the first time man was able to think and wonder, he did just that and wondered where he came from, how he came to be.

Without the ability to answer that question, he created a myth.

I believe she is very right about this and it’s something I’ve always thought. Humans could not find an answer, so they made up stories about it, but alas, they do break down with science. Which is probably why the Church tries to silence science.

Oh, come off it. She’s using ‘many’ in the way that journalists do – it means ‘I personally’ feel this way.

That is wonderful! I’ve been thinking about writing something like that myself-you can imagine all the religious letters to the editor here in Cincinnati in the last month or so. I think it’s all passed by now though. So I can take solace that someone in Ohio is out there with a fair representation.
