@mark noble,
Thats good I'm glad to hear that you are able to comprehend sensiblity without doctrine.
As for me, if I'm left to my own devices the negatives usually take over me. Thats why I am a Christian who needs a guidance like God and Lord Jesus otherwise I'm just a negative thinking time-bomb. So I wouldn't want to give allegiance to myself not a crazy negative thinking time-bomb anyway.
You know Mark, not all theists think alike. I have a lot of confrontations with a lot of so-called Christians who don't agree with my perception of God or Christianity, but I don't care what they think, I just think what a bunch of idiots. It must be the same story with atheists...
