You claim you are studying to be a scientist then try to act like a scientist.
the supernatural god does not exist. no matter how religionists/churches tries to redefine it, it simply does not exist. God is dead, Nietzsche said.. that is the cultural God that is dead.. the God who is supposed to be fickle and have very human attributes..
I'm an atheist in that sense.. but I'm also monotheistic.. not in the sense that I believe in this supernatural god, but because I have a different idea of god, and its very "mono"-theistic.. no hocus-pocus, no dogmas, no doctrines.. but I remain a naturalist/scientist/rationalist with respect to everything in nature and/or universe..
