Really, well it turns out that is not the case. I found a very good read on the subject.

Please, no offense to anyone, it is just that I am on a constant quest to find the rest of the story i.e. The truth. Only in my weird opinion, does truth out weigh fiction.

There is also this monument. Atheists In Foxholes - Freedom From Religion Foundation

I am a deeply spiritual person but not much of a church goer as I find most services rather boring. Raised a Lutheran but minored in Religious Studies at the University of Nevada, Reno and attended BYU Law School for a short period in 1982. Also dabbled with the Unification Church for about 4 hours total around 1978 until they kicked me out for being too argumentative! https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...303-post2.html Did a lot of church hopping as well in Reno, Nevada when I was trying to get a fix on different religions.

It seems to be up to each person to have their own journey to or away from whatever God they might envision. My Lutheran background seems to creep back into everything with the emphasis on personal relationships to God.
