((It only seems like cowardice to you because you haven't been witness to the proof.))
What proof? I've yet to see physical or scientific proof that *any* god or gods exist.
(("I don't want your sympathy. I don't want your pity, and I sure as Darwin don't want your prayers." I don't understand that. Why not?))
Pity, sympathy, and caring are very different things. For a perosn like myself, pity is degrading. Sympathy is for when mom or dad dies. Caring is someone who respects my beliefs and *doesn't* think I need pity or sympathy.
((I felt bad because I thought you were lost on what you believed in general))
I'm not lost. I thought over my decision, and there were many factors that weighed in on that. I didn't "drift" from god. I chose to be Agnostic. Just because I don't believe in one specific god doen't mean I don't have any kind of faith or beliefs in general. As I said before. I believe in myself, and I have fatih in my abilities. That's enough for me.
