And now you want us to believe you decided you were an atheist at the age of 5. That takes self aggrandizement to a new level.

It's 100% true. When I was five, I was forced to go to Bible School. The teacher talked about the story of Elijah and Elisha. Until then, no one really explained to me the concept of God. Well, I didn't buy a word of it, said so, and was asked not to come back. <s>

I am far too self-centered, too this-worldy, too arrogant, to possibly believe in anything other than the human brain and what it is capable of.

I don't flaunt it, I'm not a "militant atheist", but I don't deny it or water it down And I think Barack Hussein Obama is a moral coward for not admitting what he believes. I have more respect for someone who proudly professes their faith (even if I don't agree with it) in the face of dissent, than a wishy-washy agnostic who vacillates to avoid confrontation or to curry favor.
