This post will jump around a bit, and I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with Hitler, but in reading the last 6 pages, I see I'm in good company.

I found this very interesting site about geneology, and what stands out most is that an unusually high number of US Presidents are descendents of some sort of European Royalty. At least to me . Conspiracy-minded folk can visit the site here.
Cool! My aunt has traced my lineage back to Henry VIII! Does this mean I get to be president, or that I'm just an ******* with a penchant for headless women?

Back a few more posts:

But what if you're wrong? What if there is a God at the end of that tunnel? What if He holds you accountable for the way you lived your life and your choice for or against receiving the gift of salvation through his Son Jesus? What then?
Hmm...What about your choice? With all due respect, what made you choose your religion out of all the other one's out there? What makes your religion right? I have to say that if you're merely practicing a religion to cover your butt, that doesn't exactly demonstrate a great faith in anything -- just a fear of something. I know this wasn't what you meant, though. But this raises an interesting question:

You believe that a god would hold me accountable for not choosing to acknowledge him? If this was a god that is supposed to be my creator that truly understood my origins, my upbringing, my education, he would understand that believing in him is not an option for me. Therefore, I'm left with the idea: If there truly is a god, why doesn't he want me to believe in him? Trust me, there have been MANY times when I would have liked to have been a part of some "bigger picture", to believe that there is an independent institution (protected by law, even) that can offer me enlightentment, wisdom, and peace. That there is some higher being looking out for me, or that has some big plan for me, but to do so would force me to be untrue to myself. It's not a matter of just "showing a little faith". I have no faith to give. There is no choice for me to believe in any god, let alone a specific god for a specific religion.

I'm not trying to be difficult, rude, or condescending. I'm happy for those who have found comfort in faith. I feel they need to do whatever it takes to live a happy, fulfilling life. Just as I have found comfort in my lack of faith.
