Well, I don't know about others, but it's obvious to me we're having a fundamental misunderstanding in this thread. It's obvious to me atheists are not understanding my mindset on faith. Likewise, I appreciate the fact that I don't understand an atheist's mindset. Well, we sort of understand each other at a high level, but as we go deeper there is a point at which the understanding ceases.

As an example of this fundamental misunderstanding, the more I prepare and the more skills I obtain, I feel my need for God in my life increasing. Let me guess, for an atheist, the opposite is true.

At least we have been civil enough not to yell at each other. Great thread.
