with what you say. I am not an atheist, but my view of God is wildly
different to what is peddled in religions, even Buddhism. We are in
the fantastic position of not having anything to be offended about,
no angry God, no institution to defend, no practices to justify to
anyone. If an atheist has really thought about spirituality and their
own take on things, then I say well done, since he/she would have
arrived at their own conclusions, not just taken on something some
other madman/woman has coughed up. Let the children play with their
imaginary friends - it can't hurt us anymore, unless we allow it to.
The best way to counteract the insanity is to laugh at it, because we
have to remain sane for everyone else. What do you think?

>mate the idea that you laugh off the insanity is to give the
insanity a basis in reality and im sorry but religion has no basis in
reality. But this insanity still rules the lives of all athiests and
i find it hard to laugh of what i feel is THE great injustice. And i
will take any bet that athiests think more about religion and
spirituality than most vicars.
But thanks for the reply, and as my imagenery friend from childhood
