Rick, The circuitous logic behind my calling myself an atheist (though I'm not really devoted to the term, or any other pigeonhole) goes like this: anyone who really believes in a God would surely worship that God; I do not worship, therefore I must not believe. I suppose I could arguably be called a pantheist, but it's not a subject I'd be interested enough in to argue it. And yes, my objection is less to any hypothetical God than to religion. The two generally do go together. Any jump from a loose notion of spiritual essence to the concept of a God with whom we can communicate contains, in my view, a touch of anthropomorphism. The God-spirit-essence link is tenuous, and has more to do with semantics than anything else. If there is a God - something I do not and cannot know - I would suspect that God is all that is. What does that make me, beyond uncertain (and for the most part unconcerned)? Steve
