Damn atheists!

You are correct. She is the person, and it is the idea. Now clarify on what an "own opinion" would be and why it would be inherently better than those set forth in religious scriptures.



Okay, so go tell me these 2 points that you bring up, and if your probabilities are proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and in your favor, I'll convert.

- probability of an afterlife (< 50%)
- probability that God exists (< 50%)



There's more to it. Obviously if one reads no more than just the 10 Commandments in the Bible, that's all one is going to find... the 10 commandments.

Yes.

There is no point in "trying to convert you". Let's remember here, I'm not a Christian thus I don't try to convert everyone I know to "save" them.

I really don't feel like posting all the reasons why I'm a Deist and vehemently against organized religion and the mindless thoughts that such an establishment creates, but to sum it all up, just get a background in Biology and world affairs and it will just open up to you WHY we have/there is a god that no longer cares about us BUT had to have done something to get us started.
