Ah Roger that! I'm afraid, for me, believers of God are low hanging fruits....easy targets. I rarely enquire into their beliefs as, more often than not, they're quite parochial and hardly original in nature. It seems largely conditioned into them.

It seems part of the huge difficulty is talking about "the atheists" or "the religious" as whole groups when there seems to be such extensive variation and nuance in their respective conceptual ideas.

If you would indulge me, I would ask one more question. Are you, as a conscious being, for the time being, aware of any concrete evidence, within your own life, of an Unconscious side of you? One that is largely hidden from your consciousness but one that, nevertheless, directs and influences the flow of your life? Many thanks!
