Now, now. While I personally agree with you, I think it is important for us all to have tolerance for other's beliefs. Existence is still a mystery to us all. Sometimes all people have is faith and I have seen it work wonders on its own. A friend of mine came home one day and her son had hanged himself by the front door. I was talking to her on the phone shortly after and between tears asked her as a parent myself how one could possibly handle this and she simply said, "faith." Her husband, who was not religious, fell apart but Diane was able to go on. That's enough for me. At that time I was jealous of a faith that strong. I think your comment can be very hurtful to those who do believe and I don't think that is the kind of person you are.
