					<description><![CDATA[Atheists don&#039;t actually believe in souls at all . 

Also there is ample observable evidence for some kind of process of evolution. There might be a logical need for some first initiator, maybe, but no need whatever for any caring deity for reality to exist.

Even the  first initiator question is dubious as a pre existing universe is just as reasonable as a pre existing deity 

Also re: human morality. Its not remotely universal , Christian west of the Hajinal line morals are if anything an outlier 

Truth is most systems of morals work fine in terms of reproduction, people have kids and  normally pass on the culture . Hell the Aztecs who were basically a state run by denomaltors managed to do pretty well for a century and would have gone on had it not met the Conquistadors

Many  appalling cultures do as well as non appalling ones at job one  , continuing.
 
What few  common things human societies have in common are also easily explained by Evo Psych and the behaviors are those of a banding primate 

There are a few behaviors, out group altruism mainly that defy current explanation but that is current explanation 

And while we may not need Deities to explain existence , this doesn&#039;t say the don&#039;t exists, that whatever faith is wrong or that most people won&#039;t benefit from some Christianity in their lives 

In the big picture Christianity is useful and mostly makes things better. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Didact,

Very true. The hic- as the French say - is to say yes. Now the vast majority of us won&#039;t be like our Lady even though she&#039;s our model. Nope we&#039;re more like Issac (the one that fought God and left with a limp) or St Augustine and thousands of other saints who tried to run but God eventually caught up with them.
Give the fact that we&#039;re a bunch of pathetic punks he gave us not only grace but the sacraments &#039;cause he knows we&#039;re backsliders. 
Sometimes as I read about some devotions, I&#039;m struck at how much God loves us and wants us very much to be with him. I shake my head given that I&#039;m a backsliding punk but I keep trying. I just hope I&#039;ll succeed because Lord am I pathetic backsliding punk.
