FT, I've lurked this thread from time to time but have been hesitant to post. Religion is not a subject that lends itself to rational debate. <G> To be an atheist is just as dogmatic (and takes a leap of faith) as to be a deist. I prefer the position of agnostic until I see some definite proof one way or the other. I am convinced, though, that if there is a Creator, all the world's religions have got it wrong. My sentiments exactly, although I don't like to use the word "agnostic" because its definition has been misconstrued by many to mean sitting on the fence in regards to Christianity. You posted earlier on the eventual demise of religion. This brings up a question regarding human psychology for which I've never found a satisfactory answer. Why do so many people, including some who are otherwise intelligent and rational, need religion? I really wish I knew the answer to this. I have never had such a need and can't understand why anyone would. It's truly a mystery to me. Regards, JB
