Allan , I am not claiming to be an atheist , I am only admitting that due to my beliefs I might appear to be so. As for challenging God to a duel , I think you either have not been following my posts or you have failed to understand me.When, whatever I think , feel and do is according to God's will , I don't see how I can deemed to be challenging Him. But , of course, if you are God I could be challenging you and I agree with you that there is no need for you to accept my challenge.
