Re: When in history did atheism become the only choice?
You start with a false premise by saying any thinking rational person cannot believe in God. Clearly God can be understood in an analogous manner. I do not need the impossible immediate proof that historical figures exist to believe that they existed. If I believe in Socrates, am I irrational?
There is nothing irrational about believing there may be a superior immaterial being outside of ourselves, especially since we have not made our own existence or can will it to stop existing.
