Well you certainly can't. It's kind of hard to forgive someone who doesn't exist isn't it?

I'd say if you really do have some anger about the issue, that that in itself might be your own acknowledgement of God's existence. IE you're angry against God!

Your response might be that your anger is directed at organized religion, NOT God. But your arguments above are pretty clearly directed at the idea at least, of God. Seems to me that you might actually be a closet believer in God, despite what you're willing to admit to yourself!

Peace Jim,
