Pete... "alternately to consider that there is a God is unthinkable to the fundy atheist-"

The actuality is, Pete, that most atheists HAVE considered it!

Think about it- IF religion were obviously true and some Supreme Being reminded us daily of his wishes and rules and explained out history, it would be a LOT easier to cope with the frustrations of this world.

Atheists HAVE tried to see the reasoning ..and seen the problems with accepting one book and eons of preachers telling them what to do.
