Another Great Quote

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."


-Stephen Roberts

Where does that leave me? I actually believe that everything I see is God.

Thomas, I always knew you would figure out that I am God. ;o)

Rocket - I really like this quote... but I wish there was some other way to deliver that message to someone in a way it doesn't appear snarky.... Ken - My belief is similar to the quote from heinlein... Collective humanity makes up it's own right and wrong, and then judges their own right and wrong... why look to the heavans for your answer when it's in your midst? What more divine inspiration do you need than the person sitting next to you and their wisdom?

Jenn'fer, couldn't have said that better. Funny thing is, sometimes that wisdom comes from a person or a circumstance I hate and am trying like hell to avoid or get out of...
