You don't have to be an a**hole about it. When you are burned as many ex fill in the blank belivers have been by belief without evidence that is the natural place to go.
I require empirical evidence in order to believe. I believe everyone should do the same. To do otherwise in my opinion leads back to the same place we all started at. In a cult that claims to have revealed truth. What makes belief without evidence in any of the found or revealed truths any different than the other. Nothing. Just some man's opinion.
I for one will not waste another moment of my life in that again. I almost lost to much the first time and I'll be dammed if I do it again.
