Hello,

        I am an 18 year-old male Canadian who recently visited your site

proclaiming your atheistic ways.  I couldn't help but notice the complete

lack of any data, facts, or research of any kind that would lend your

"argument" a sense of validity. 

        Let me begin by dismantling your opening paragraph:  How can you say Jesus

is a "No-Show"?  At what time were you expecting him that he is now late?

If you have ever read any of the Bible, you'd be aware of the fact that

Jesus did not know the time of his return, only the Father.  I'm wondering

where and how you have obtained this data?  Furthermore, your logic lacks a

basis:  from your reasoning, you assume that since Jesus has not returned

in the alst two-thousand years, then he will therefore never return?  This

ties back into the fact that you do not know when He will return and that

you are really just propagating a lie.

        Next, why do you say religion is for the weak-minded?  Historically, some

of the strongest-minded figures have been religious.  Look at Gahandi; Pope

Leo X; Da Vinci, to name just a few.  Are you saying that being able to

accept the existence of a higher-power makes one some how less intelligent?

 Arrogance blinds those who seek truth. 

        What makes the unsubstantiated claims you are spreading any more "true"

than those you believe are spread by organized religion?  All you do is

make statements like, "religious teaching is no longer acceptable" - what

does that mean?  How can you say religious teaching is no longer current or

useable?  What does religion teach?  Love.  Faith.  That people are bound

together in ways one cannot imagine.  How are these not acceptable, or

current, or useable?

        Why do you want people to complain about the presence of Holy books in

courts?  Do you know what a court is?  DO you know that all laws on earth

stem from religion, and that in the Western realm of civilization, the most

prevalent two are Judaism and Christianity?  (commonly and rightfully

grouped as Judao-Christianity)  To detach the moral basis and significance

from the criminal code would be foolhardy. 

        All and all sir, I really do not see any sense of validity in your work.

In fact, it appears that you are no more in tune with reality than the bums

on the streets talking nonsense and begging for change to buy turpentine

with.  I feel very sorry for you, and I hope that God will feel the same

way when it comes time to deal with your damned soul.
