text: how about we replace the word "believe" with the word "think", i think god does /does not exist? it is the finality of "i believe" that grates on my nerves, "i believe" is a self-hynotic sort of term and it prevents any further thought or discussion, stop using it and say "i think" ask yourself "what do i think" not "what do i believe" and you might really think of some answers. how about you let people use their own choice of words. thats what i believe.
