Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
I guess I feel that when I die, I'm "Goin' Home" - even if that "home" is the earth from whence I came....where there will be no more tears, no more suffering. (Revelation 21:4)


And although atheists may find it insulting to be compared with fundamentalist Christians, that's where fundamentalist Christians and militant atheists come together - in their insistence on certainty, in their insistence on their being in possession of the Truth. If atheists are insulted by my grouping them with fundamentalist Christians, keep in mind that I as a progressive Christian am also insulted by being grouped with fundamentalists. I believe in uncertainty - but also in possibility. Certainty is so limiting. I prefer to dream.
