All that exists aside from religion and spirituality are scientific explanations and theories, many of which take the same amount of "faith" and "belief" to consider "truth." Faith was never something real for me personally, which is why many scientific theories are things that I likewise cannot accept along with religion. So, I find the arguments of many die-hard Atheists just as futile as those of Creationalists in many debates.

I believe people become intoxicated by their own perceptions of what they believe to be "absolute truth." Truth of life's meaning is a personal thing, but being that it is human nature to be egocentric, we tend to either subject or force our own personal beliefs upon each other. We also have an inclination towards finding others who do not share the same beliefs as we do to be of some inferiority, or worthy of pity in the form of "conversion" or "enlightenment". This is the case not only with religious groups such as Christians, but those with non-beliefs, such as Atheists.

I think if everyone realized that we all have different philosophies (even when sharing the same religion or spirituality) and respected that, we'd all be a hell of a-lot happier. We'd also have less debates going in circles, too. =PpP Who cares if God doesn't exist? To some people, he does.
