As an atheist: I have a list of questions for this god. Since I expect it to be busy with other business, I will go on living my life as is. Hopefully those questions get answered along the way.

The OP says "god" not "God".

You stick to posting your own opinions; I have no need for you to clarify mine.
In a discussion, people use the posts of others as the launch point for expressing their opinions. What is it about some of you atheists that seems to make you so ungracious when responding to those who question your views. I did say YMMV. Are you always so mean-spirited?

I could too, phet. That would not alter the ungraciousness of the poster I responded to. I am absolutely non-plussed by the seemingly visceral negativity of responses to me and my views from both camps.

I am not mean-spirited, I merely have no need for to you correct my opinions to make them "more accurate". I'm not sure which part of this is difficult to understand.

YMMV is an idiom that suggests that you need not agree with me so I still see no reason for the ungracious response. YMMV.

Blunt talk is something we all have dipped into...including you.
