Atheism is a belief, a conviction, not provable. "Does God exist?" Quantum Theory says "Yes" because "All things are possible," although, of course, all things are not probable. Mr. Dawkins is a brilliant man in this Realm of Relativity in which we all find ourselves and, as such, he pitches a very cogent, persuasive appeal for his opinions to those whom he considers espouse the belief that they are the élite among us.

Atheism is a belief, a conviction, not provable. "Does God exist?" Quantum Theory says "Yes" because "All things are possible," although, of course, all things are not probable. Mr. Dawkins is a brilliant man in this Realm of Relativity in which we all find ourselves and, as such, he pitches a very cogent, persuasive appeal for his opinions to those whom he considers espouse the belief that they are the élite among us. His English accent, couched in pomposity and arrogance, doesn't hurt the presentation either. It's perfectly natural for parts to seek out their analogs within the structure of the Whole; the Law of Homogeneity at work, birds of a feather wanting to flock together. So the Draft call to enlist in the Army of Militant Atheism by Mr. Dawkins is quite understandable. My concern is that we are all here, on a Great Round Ball, smack dab in the middle of Zero and Infinity, not knowing who we are, where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going from here, if anywhere. It is true that in our Realm of Relative Existence, some are relatively more intelligent than others; but on the Level Playing Field in which we find ourselves, we are all absolutely as equally ignorant in our ability to come up with answers to the Eternal Questions. I have often wondered what would happen if the masses became convinced that there is no God. Would the poor and hungry turn upon the rich and satisfied? In the "Bhagavad Gita," the Song of God, Dharma asks of Yudisthira, "Of all the world's wonders, which is the most wonderful?" And Yudisthira replies: "That no man, though he sees others dying all about him, believes that he, himself, will not die." Unless Mr. Dawkins is an immortal, the time will come for him to stand before the Door that leads into the Great Unknown. He may very well find himself rapidly evolving from Militant Atheist, to Agnostic, to Believer, to Repentant Metanoid. And, of course, he will be welcomed with open arms.

I think thou do[th] protest too much, Mr. Savage.

BartendingBear , I am not trying to convince anyone of either the existence of, or the non-existence of, God.

As others have pointed out, on other clips, I am "ignorant," which is why I am a Truth Seeker, allowing Time, the Author of all Truth, to let Reality verify Truth of His existence or non-existence.

Aldous Huxley, correctly and famously said, 'The only true religion is Agnosticism."

Admitting ignorance is the first step to seeking Truth.

So-called theists and atheists share a common characteristic. They succumbed to cultural brainwashing. Each group asserts it is everyone except they who are brainwashed.

People believe when they don't know.

By simple example. Someone might say: he believes there is beer in the refrigerator. Someone else says he believes there is no beer in the refrigerator. As long as they fight over the idea, they are not seeking the truth. Each could use his mind to discover how to get reality to reveal the truth. We have no problem solving this "conflict." Allow reality to decidedly reveal the truth.

OPEN THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR!

The problem is not what people believe: the problem is that they believe!
