    Well...

    I was raised an atheist.
    I'm a scientist.
    I've lost a child and had cancer.

    I'm STILL a believer.

    Whenever someone starts a sentence with "as a Christian...." you know it's going to end badly.

    I love it when people who know I have them on ignore post to me.

    It's their way of saying they're my bitch.

    Fun!

    Allow me to translate that. I can't refute it, so I'm gonna say something stupid.

    What's there to refute? That which is presented without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

    The OP just shows that even scientists lie to themselves.

    I do disagree with the Atheist argument that religious people just haven't suffered. People become religious as a way to deal with suffering.

    And just how is she lying to herself? She is an astrophysicist. She has studied the universe and how it works. She knows a lot more about if than you do. Perhaps you are the one lying to yourself. All you have is your own opinion. She has tons of physical evidence that the universe shows every sign of being created by intelligence. The heavens declare the glory God. Anyone can see this. Anyone except wilfully ignorant people like yourself. The universe requires a Creator. It couldn't have created itself.

    She's lying to herself about believing in a god. A person can be brilliant and still be weak enough to need to believe in something that probably isn't true.

    She has tons of physical evidence that the universe shows every sign of being created by intelligence.
    Such as?

    You have to suspend disbelief to believe lots of things. In the world beyond natural (supernatural) you must do that. I am not an atheist, but I don't believe in organized religion, I dare to believe what I believe simply based on my own mind.

    Religion is not a faith, but a set of rules and historical norms that most people have been born into, a culture not spiritualism... so in my book I am a Christian culturally, not spiritually.

    I believe Jesus was the same, he abandoned the spiritualism of the religion he was born into and dared to accept what he knew to be true. Culturally Jesus Christ was a Jew, spiritually Jesus Christ was a follower of Christ.
