       You're sure that's what it means, and could mean nothing else? The greatest   
   value in life is the ability to re-grow lost limbs? That's even better than the   
   ability to exchange thoughts like some of us are able to, and to build   
   comfortable dwellings, to read and write, to make tools and machines, and to be   
   able to directly appreciate the unique position we're in, and be thankfull to   
   God for being in it if he exists? You'd rather be an animal who could re-grow a   
   limb if you lost it...LOL... Too bad for you you're in the position you're in   
   instead then.

       Ah, so you also believe God should grant every single thing anyone ever   
   prays for. No wonder you're an atheist with "thinking" like that. So do you   
   think God should answer the prayers of atheists too? Every one of them? Or any   
   of them at all?   
      
   >You're quite the atheist, friend.   
      
       I'm a weak agnostic, but that position is beyond your mental ability to   
   comprehend which of course is why you said what you did. That and because you   
   feel it would be insulting to me for you to say that. But you can't comprehend   
   the position regardless of what you call me. WHY you can't is all that in   
   question in that regard. Is it because your brain is mentally unable to   
   comprehend? Or would it possibly be able to if you tried? If the latter, then   
   why are you an atheist instead of a weak agnostic? And btw, trying to   
   comprehend   
   the position but not being able to accept it is NOT being able to fully   
   comprehend it.
