Usually, Atheists/skeptics...whatever you want to call them, point to God as being cruel, not giving a second thought to the fact that every trouble man has ever been dealt...he has brought on himself in one way or another.

John: That is a strange, contradictory statement, I think.

Atheists and skeptics are not the same thing. There are just as many skeptics in religion than there are out of it. A skeptic is someone who is reluctant to believe something without evidence to support it.<<

Hi John,

I don't know if we are engaged in Nit-picking here, or if we are trying to split hairs. But my reference...to Atheists/Skeptics...was a direct result of seeing the two mentioned elsewhere on this board...in the same breath. So...I apologize, if it does not sit well with you...but then you didn't say anything before.

How you know the ratio of how many skeptics there are...where beats me, but I would like to know, if you are of a mind to share, that is?

Touche',
