Thunderstick,

Here's what you fail to understand.

Marx's position on religion is totally irrelevant to the question of the existence of god(s)

How any group forms their political philosophy based upon their belief a specific god or set of gods exists is not informative to the under lying question, does a(ny) god(s) exist?.

If you wish to be respectful of Atheist, it's important you at least attempt to understand what it actually means to be an "atheist" and not saddle us with baggage outside of that narrow definition.

Atheism is a single position on a single proposition. Atheism isn't a declaration of absolutes, it's "I don't accept your god claims". or alternatively "your god claims have not met their burden of proof". It is not inclusive of a world view or a dogma, or any other beliefs.

In contrast, the behavior of a gods followers and representatives on earth can be informative about a specified god's potential existence.

What kind of a week pathetic all knowing, all loving, all powerful creator of the universe most influential organization on Earth is filled with homosexual pedophiles? Perhaps this is most consistent with a god who does not exist.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
