what are you doing here then ?

If you have something to contribute, such as qualitative (or quantitative) information, please do so.

Figures, atheists run out of the foxhole when things get serious.

ok, i dont debate on forums, especially this one, my spelling and punctuation skills are not up to it as anyone here who is anally retentive about that will inform you, and i dont wish to drive them insane ! (i actually play the game that theese forums are connected to)
But just for you i will try to make my point. (sorry guys).

You say that a virtual enviroment numbs the emotions

*We feel the greatest sensations when our emotions become loosened in the presence of other people. *

surely theese forums are a virtual enviroment, you have no direct connection, no idea when the people writing are here.

Forums are a disconnection from real life interactions, a buffer between the writer and interaction with others, thats why they are so popular, what your saying is that places like this numb the emotional neurons in our brains, so why are you here numbing yours, why are you not out, doing this in real time ?

Why should it matter if i am athiest or not ?

Does no faith or belief in a higher power preclude the ability to have a reasoned discussion or debate, far from it, a closed mind is the only thing that does that !
