VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Stonyground|DATE|1357754327|CONTENT|For me, it was learning about the actual extent of the known universe that rendered the gods of the various religions untenable. How miniscule, inconsequential and parochial is YHWH when compared to actual reality? How presumtious of him to claim to have made the entire universe by saying &quot;And he made the stars also&quot;. Two chapters of self contradictory verbiage for the Earth and everything in it, and six words for the rest of the universe. How does anyone reconcile omniscience with such ignorance?

Regarding the OP. I wonder if I could have been anything but an atheist, having been born into this modern age without the ability to do this kind of double-think. I am just not capable of believing something when faced with such irrefutable evidence that it isn&#039;t true.|EMAIL|elizabeth@iww1967.wanadoo.co.uk|IP-ADDRESS|95.150.30.98|MODERATIONFLAG|
