Bismillah,
John,
<i>''1. Who says these things are "bad" ? </i>
2. I am not a "true believer". ''
1. Are you serious?
2. That is a wellknown 'fact' by now.
(About Islam) ''It's not frightening, it is silly, but not frightening.''
What does not make sense to me, or is logical in anyway, is that you are wasting your TIME on something you think is silly. I at least use my time on something I love to focus on. That I believe in. But your gain, well it truly does not make any sense at all...
<i>''Well "he" needs to be a bit more proactive in the "guiding" department because what I have seen so far just doesn't do it for me. ''</i>
Well, you know when you have a guide you are supposed to follow Him. And He will show you around. But it you do not go and look for Him in the first place, how do you expect you will find Him? I think some effort is needed in this too.
<i>''...God may exist...'</i>, I skip the rest since it do sound like speculations. You take it from there. But you cannot have both 'silly' and 'may' since they are not exactly contradictions but they do not agree in thought. You should take a path from there, to be able to solve these disagreements in thoughts.
Regards
