You are confused. I am hostile towards the ->people<- who insist I
->must<- believe as they do, whether I like it or not; and I am
hostile towards those that insist on telling me what I "really" think
or believe, usually without bothering to ask me first.

You know, just like you are doing above.

I am not "hostile" towards the possibility of a "theistic personal
Creator [...] existing". I simply do not believe that one does; it's
not even a matter of choice. In order to be ->honest<- with myself, I
have no choice, based on my understanding, knowledge, and careful
reflection, but to not believe that such a thing exists.

If ->you<- do, well, good and dandy for you, so long as it is really
PERSONAL. You know, as in, for ->you<-, and you stop trying to stick
it down my throat at every opportunity.
