So, It could be very well the way you said in post # 141, or it might not, and there's really no way to know for sure then...?
I guess it's gonna depend on the whole "Is the glass half-full" thing, when it come to some of these matters about God, or "is the glass half-empty" thing, when it comes to some things about God... In other words, are you looking to "see" him in "things", or are you looking in order to "not see" him in "things", kinda "thing" then...? When it comes to some stuff... It still will take "faith", right...?
I don't see the logic in flat out denying that God "could be" so, or true, though, at all...? The very fact is that the truth is that it is, at the very least "might be" or "could very well be"...? Anyways, I don't see how anyone can logically be a strict, strong, Atheist... "Agnostic" perhaps, but not Atheist...
God Bless!
