I agree. But I didn’t say anything negative about atheists. I said that I
think they are sad, and therefore I feel sorry for them.  giulio

You don't realize that that is patronizing?  Wake up!  YOu are saying that
atheists are missing something wonderful, hence are sad,  and so you feel
sorry for them.  Maybe you should consult a dictionary to find out what
'patronizing' means.  You clearly do not understand.

What I am missing is believing in a lot of fanciful superstitions and
living my life in a fantasy world where I believe anything that makes me
happy.  I would characterize that as something very negative, but that
would be patronizing.  To take something on faith means that you will
believe it no matter whether it makes sense or whether there is any
evidence for it.  Oh , wait, you don't believe in evidence. You believe in
fantasy.  bill w
