      Through no fault of the atheists, though.

      There I go again, with the Doctrine of No...

        My Dad held a similar position, though from the intellectual rather than the spiteful side. If you read C. S. Lewis' apologetics* it's all there. The idea is that God is the apex of a progression that begins with our basic biology (the age old body fear of the reactionary) and moves through childhood, adulthood, and then education, and culminating in spirituality.

          Edit: After a reread, I see your comment as tongue in cheek being in the wrong county and all.

                    All sides of the road are mine! And when I listen to the Doors I get that anticipation of being in an altered state..... except I behave myself now.

                      Is that what's meant when people say they're letting Jesus take the wheel?

                        When she said that... I wanted to bust out laughing. It appears she also confused knowledge of the Bible with belief in the Bible.
