These are not contridictions , they are my life story; lived in real time. And I do not accept the " Word of mouth " convicted by the Holy Spirit testimonys given by some Christians, I only accept how people live and what is comming out of them as proof they are being visted by the Holy Spirit. Nothingless than that. Anybody can make claims to be led by the Spirit, but the proof of that is in the pudding; their conscious life!

If you want to chase fairy tales, knock yourself out, I have more respect for myself than to chase fantasies.

Nor did any god convince you, this is purely a self-inflicted fantasy you suffer from.

I know that 100's of millions (billions perhaps) of people have searched for any evidence for 10's of centuries, and all the findings (none, nada, zip, zilch) to even suggest any god exists has yet to be produced.

Yep, really gives more credence to my opinion The lack of evidence is really quite overwhelming don't ya think?

And billions believe, currently. Just look at any global stats. Here's one I just found by random.
World: Religiosity (II) – Belief in God « small-m

And that proves it's one of the greatest con jobs ever sold to humanity. But before you dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back, recognize "you" believers are still a minority.

The truth is most are brainwashed, programmed, educated into the club of fantasy believers starting in the crib. Now lifelong captives of the fairy tale they dare not challenge (remember the programming) and are classic examples of people suffering Stockholm Syndrome.

That site clearly shows that believers are a huge majority. Once again an atheist takes something clear and ignores it. When you are on the outside things often look much different that when you are on the inside. How would you even know how someone believes? You probably stick to some biblical/religious viewpoint which is not always the case for belief.

DoH, and that proves what. It proves the "programming" from the crib through the formative years is a very effective form of brainwashing........

or......

Proves PT Barnum was right, except his estimate of how often they are born was really really low.

You first try to say the minority now you realize it's the majority and call it brainwashing from the crib. You just have no idea do you. Some people are in their 30's, 40's 50's etc when they come to believe. Hardly from the crib.

Not sure what that nonsense analogy is meant to be saying but it does not change the fact that you put words in my mouth I did not say. It also does not change the fact you are not giving any evidence for your claims.
