"Why you would want to deny that is interesting"

I denied it because it was falsely aplied to me. A "strict materialist" qualifies my materialism in a way which is inaccurate. Furthermore, I do not limit the arena of my beliefs with confining labels even when they are 99.9 per cent revealing.

"How much does Love weigh?"

It would be difficult for anyone to measure the biochemical processes, neuron firings, and physical reflexes which signify to us love, fear, anxiety, distress, etc. But I can give you a pill which will change the way your neurons fire...and the way that you feel! And I can get rid of that powerful love you're exuding by killing your cat, breaking your pots, and pinching your nose! Valium on the other hand does quite well in calming ones self down from anxiety. Try it, why don't you! :-)

"they not only do away with God (which is your aim) but ultimately they do away with yourself."

Don't be ridiculous! It is not my arguments which will do me in. It is the unmerciful Universe and her infinite fingers of time !
