In college I had a friend who was a "vocal" atheist... who then became a "Jesus Freak", including the smiley button. I figured he had become an atheist to spite god and then repented. Whatever..

I spent 8 years in Catholic elementary school and finally gave up trying to be devout, or even Catholic. The hypocricy was more than I could stand... including my lip service to the dogma. The fact was and is that I just do not believe in any form of theology... that requires some faith, which I just do not have.

As long as someone doesn't try to shove their beliefs onto me, it's let's agree to disagree... don't put your religious dogma into laws that affect me... don't bomb folks who believe differently than you...

My feeling is that waging war over religion is as stupid/insane/pointless as fighting over belief in the tooth fairy.
