Unless I am reading your response to DS wrong, you seem to be upset with him because he is an athiest, and this offends you because of your strong belief in TCOJCOLDS and its profound relationhship God.

If I am not correct, please ignore the next paragraph.

If I am correct, are you also upset with the billions of other people on the planet who don't share your belief in TCOJCOLDS and its profound relationship with God? (In fact, of these who are religious, millions probably worship an undeniably different god.)

BTW, I too feel DS should have made the fact that he was an atheist clear in his OP post. However, I do believe his questions about "faith" were/are genuine.
