Today being Easter, religion is a quite appropriate topic. Although lumber would also appear to be. :-) it does follow fairly directly that i strongly suspect no one else does either .... including - nay, especially - the atheists, who as i understand it are denying the possibility of a greater intelligent force or forces with a hand in making the cosmos go round .... how can they know for sure? - this is illogical in the extreme, requiring fully as much faith as do the religious, and while the religious admit they rely on faith [whatever that is, sorry but us Radical In-Yer-Face Agnostics do not understand the term, even those of us in the moderate cute cuddly sub-sect to which i belong] - the atheists do not Well put. I agree completely. Neither side can make their case. Which leaves the null hypothesis (agnosticism) as the only defensible ground. I said something like that to an atheist on the thread recently (who shall remain nameless due to my cowardice) and was roundly attacked.

A lot of the mills up here are already shut down, the largest ones out here such as Weyerhaeuser seem to be going full tilt. weyerhaeuser.com "especially - the atheists, who as i understand it are denying the possibility of a greater intelligent force or forces with a hand in making the cosmos go round .... how can they know for sure?" I know and I wish they would stop ramming their nonreligious beliefs down our throats! "this is illogical in the extreme, requiring fully as much faith as do the religious,..." More actually and they require you memorize a bunch of stuff to.
