Hello Sailor!

He doesn't like that one either Steve.

Suffice to say that as ever, those with an imaginary friend make the mistake that rational people have a stance, as in not believing in God. Well, as the concept is the invention of humans, it isn't a matter of believing or not believing, there is nothing to believe. If it is your comfort blanket or heritage, then fine. Get on with it, but don't get all upset when the grown ups are talking..

I no more believe in God as I believe that a particular style of American football is the best way to win. You can't say that just because I don't agree with that style that therefore I don't believe in it, as the reason is I don't agree with it is that it is a non debate to those of us who don't know or understand the sport.

Same with God. Just because as a child I was told by teachers to put my hands together etc, doesn't mean I have a view as a rational adult. Religion can be very comforting for people, but sadly it can be useful too. Hence the more people who treat it as an irrelevance, the more society can get on with improving without bigoted boundaries.
