Thumpers tend to convince themselves as there is no alternative. The state of "mental ease" afforded by faith vanishes if they open the window of doubt.
Admitting you don't know and don't have faith either way is a scary place to live.....so few reside here

Spot on.
I have no interest in organized religion, but I also don't have any interest in using logic to attack the existance of god.
Although I must say, I find people of faith a much scarier lot than the atheists. Faith is a belief, not a logical conclusion, and as such one can justify any act. Acts of kindness, acts of terrorism.....anything can be justified by waving the banner of faith.
I am quite content admitting that I don't know. I have some theories, but as I have no evidence, I can only put together a way of living that I think is best for myself and those around me.
Its a murky position, on that enrages both Christians and Atheisists alike, so I must have right.
This is a bit of a put one, since I was raised in a largely Christian environment, so my world view is deeply rooted in Chrisitian thought.......
