How atheists are portrayed by Churches.

[potthole]

Not really, i mean i look at it this way. Experimentation and investigation through out the years have yet to prove any remote chance of life after death, or of any kind of creator. If somewhere along the line someone finds true evidence of any kind of god or creator, then i will consider the evidence. I dont "choose not to acknowledge him", when there is no proof that there is anything to acknowledge in the first place.

I guess this is where personal definitions come into play. When I read this comment by you, it says to me that you acknowledge there is a God, but just lack enough proof to decide to follow him.
