>Frankly, I have little doubt that there is something beyond this plane of existence. I don't know for certain because I have not been to the other side, but I have been close to believers as they have passed over. < Let me just tell you how much respect I have for you being able to say you don't know for certain. Even though you and I are coming from completely different angles on religion- I can absolutely relate to anyone believing anything they want as long as they admit they don't know for certain. I can't relate at all to people who know for certain. They certainly have a right to know for certain for THEMSELVES, but I would really hate it if they decided their certainty needed to affect me. Unlike the certain people I wouldn't use the machinery of the state to enforce any of my religious beliefs- I merely want the absence of state sanctioned beliefs. This void of state sanctioned religiosity we can each fill in our own special way, in keeping with our own faiths and philosophies.
