the first cause argument is a bitch- it can always move backwards

I agree with you about agnosticism. I see no other rational position. And I've no idea why people take this stuff so seriously, but whether it's Thor, Zeus, Allah, or Jesus, there's always someone who takes it whole hog. They live in a different thought universe than I do.

I think sentient beings will be kind, not evil.

I will never call myself an atheist, even though I am highly cynical of organized religion

Why would I not want to believe in a higher spiritual power

Why would anyone not want to believe in that we are more than just flesh and bones

for that matter why would anyone believe that this little speck of dust called planet earth houses the only intelligent life forms in the vast cosmos...

but for now I will just reiterate... if there is a heaven, then I'll sign up for where ever the dogs go... as opposed to the bible thumpers such as Bachmann, Palin, Cuccinelli, etc, aka the American taliban and wherever they go
