Nathan,

I think we’re talking about two slightly different things. Some of my good friends are atheists and some are hardcore fundies (Joe Manafo) I’m not suggesting a difference of opinion precludes friendship.

That said, having a few athiest friends, I think some may take offense against your characterization as athiests against “some” Gods. Some might see that as much a dismissal of their beliefs as you might see atheism of yours. You’re right though many “atheists” have not thought through all of the implications of there statement and may be open to adjustment. Same thing with a lot of Christians. In fact Richard Dawkins uses the “some gods” argument fairly successfully against theists.

anyone that i know that is an atheist likes me:)
i think many times who we think is an atheist, is just an atheist against a god that we would consider ourselves to be atheists against too…
but from me experience, atheists don’t hate me. in fact they love me because i’m a breath of fresh air…that sounds cocky, but its been my experience over and over again.

me neither! Think of age old questions never answered. Age as a state of mind, age discrimination. Spirituality operating outside of time. Wisdom comes with…I don’t think Age-ism is relevant. Young people have the same questions just in a different generation. Does that mean that the answers are different?
