You simply have a belief in a belief system.  That is all.  [/quote]

Why do so many atheists, who claim to put so much stock in rationality, resort to grade-school insults to make their points? Do you guys realize that everybody tunes you out as childish bullies with nothing substantive to say?[/quote]

I'm super sick of atheists like the righteous PP in this thread.  They pick out religion for special scorn with an irrational vengeance -- religion is one kind of ideology.  Communism, socialism, fascism, secular humanism -- these are also ideologies.  We are all human -- criticizing religion as "man-made" like that's some devastating critique is ridiculous.  All ideologies are articulated to an extent by man, even if they reflect non super-natural "truths" like Marxism's materialistic interpretation of history.  For the record, I'm the OP that believes Jesus existed and loves his teachings.  I do not believe in God -- nor I do believe there is NOT a God -- I'm just indifferent and try to follow Jesus's teaching.  If others think him divine, I respect that and their belief in God.  I guess that makes me an atheist, but I am wholly opposed to the reductive, anti-religion atheism of the PP.[/quote]

PP, we know there are plenty of thoughtful atheists like you out there, and who aren't threatened by somebody else's beliefs. Live and let live.[/quote]
