Kevin, after re-reading this entire thread, I can think of nothing more to say other than that I will pray for you, I will pray that you one day see the light and find fullfillment in your life. Doubting Thomas is a wonderful analogy for you. Although I pray you do not have to actually feel the wounds which you so vehemently deny exist. I truely cannot imagine a world like yours without faith and constant mistrust and disbelief. I don't feel offended any mroe and I don't feel angry at your point of view. I won't even try to change your opinion or share mine any more with you. I very much pity you.
Drawing a part from each religion that suits makes me feel sorry you question things so much. I don't want you to experience the hate for Americans that you deny, and attribute to our own fault. I am sorry you must touch the wound of reality before you believe.
