It was very nice to see Walden Pond maintained so beautifully. Thoreau choose a very good location for his cabin. I have always said the most famous house in America cost $28.12 to build.
A sad and odd thought yes. But even sadder is that us theists are often the reason an atheist would want to get away from God. We all too often stress god as something we need to pound into people with a sledge hammer and forget that all a hammer, large or small, can do is give a severe headache.
We can be real pests and I can not fault an atheist for wanting to get away from us at times. An evangelical theist is a very strong incentive for a person to become an Atheist. We our selves have given atheists reason to want to get away from God.
You hit the nail on the head, Woodrow, no pun intended. hee-hee. I'm surprised no one else has commented about your comment. Truth hurts, huhn? Evangelicals are akin to JWs, you hate to see them coming and get defensive the moment you encounter them. I've become downright rude to them now. I like your way of seeing things.

Couldn't have said it any better myself - and I'm a theist.

Reason: add words
Say... Wowzers! Now that I enlarged the picture and studied it, I'm sure I can now see God lurking out on that far point of land, just under that overhanging tree. Looks like He's got a walking stick in His hand, the better to direct lightning bolts with, huh?
Yup: I'm sure of it now. There IS a God out in nature after all!
