I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

"Arjuna, whenever righteousness is on the decline, unrighteousness is in the ascendant, then I body Myself forth.
For the protection of the virtuous, for the extirpation of evil-doers, and for establishing Dharma (righteousness) on a firm footing, I am born from age to age." - (Bhagavat Gita - Ch. 4, vs. 7 & 8).

Rev_Ken_Howard
Ken Howard, a Christian of Jewish origins, is the pastor of St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, in Germantown, Maryland, the church he founded in 1995, and the author of the new book, "Paradoxy: Creating Christian Community Beyond Us and Them." Ken holds a Master of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary, and received honors in Church History for his ground-breaking research into the Jewish origins of early Christianity, published in "Jewish Christianity in the Early Church: How the Church forgot its Jewish Roots."
Respected and trusted for his expertise in conflict resolution and consensus building among groups with opposing theological and political views, Ken has been called upon to facilitate dialogs on issues ranging from human sexuality to interfaith relations.
When not occupied with the business of pastoring and growing the theologically diverse congregation he helped plant, Ken provides presentations, training, and coaching on the concepts outlined in "Paradoxy," as well as in church planting and congregational vitality.

The only thing that matters is faith expressed through love (Gal. 5:6). I'm a follower of Christ, an author about heaven, hell, the afterlife, and about world religions, and I'm a pastor. I like people...they are God's finest creation!

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life. There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine. O traveler, if you are in search of That Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.

We all pay a fabulous price
For our visions of paradise,
But a spirit with a vision
Is a dream with a mission.
- Rush, "Mission"

Friend,
Do you measure land with a barometer?
Can you understand
The law of gravity
By testing
The freezing point of mud
At its greatest density?
There is no God
By knowledge's rules?
Friend,
Examine your tools.
To discover God
You must form your plan
To the nature
Of God
Not the nature of man.
The only key
Is that forgotten faculty
That pulses through you
Now and then
Eluding the hand
And startling the mind.
Spirit, it's called.
Friend,
You will not find
God through mistaken tools.
Who weighs a stone with a measuring tape?
Fools.
--- Carol Lynn Pearson
