That is a very good question.
Perhaps I just want to spend a few hours on a Saturday evening poking fun at athiests. I hope this isn't my motive but I suppose if I am honest it might be. I read the other threads and don't see why, if you are happy to give it so why not.

Well, if you just want to poke fun at us, why not be honest and spare us the self-serving blessings bullshit? It's awfully high-handed when you actually wandered in here for a fight.

Interesting dialogue.

If you enjoy verbal joustings and trading insults, you might be entertained here. A meeting of the minds is rather unlikely, however.

Sorry. I didn't see any evidence of that in your initial post. You pretty much made it clear that you found us to be laughable and, obviously, cowards because we're not out preaching on street corners so that the rest of the world can laugh at us, too. Those sentiments are somehow at odds with your bestowal of blessings and peace later on in your post.

I was an athiest for most of my life (just didn't believe in God- whatever type of athiest that it) but I experienced a (physical) miracle and now I do. I want others to understand the joy.

Why is it necessary for us to understand
your joy? I have my own joys, which you might not find so joyful. I wouldn't dream of imposing my joys on you.
