@Frans Super indeed, it's a tenuous balance which holds a man between the frontiers of pessimism, optimism, faith in god and no faith at all. Although, I don't believe that you're a committed atheist, just quite yet, if truly at all. Do you wish to know why I think so? I'll tell you. There isn't a true atheist at all, who would spell the word god, with a capitalized G, unless he had the reverence and respect. I for one, believe that the lord will forgive me, my most purposeful, indiscretion, for not doing the same.
