It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
Okay, I can often do diplomacy. So here goes: I think that agnosticism is the only rational position in this argument, that everything else, atheism included, is as much a matter of personal wishes and comfort as anything else. Moving on to religion in particular, I think that the notion of 'One and Only True Way' is as much of a dangerous fallacy when applied to theological matters as it is when applied to inter-cultural matters. We humans are too different in too many ways too ever subscribe to a uniformity of ideas in any field. If God exists, I expect Her to realise that. Of course, none of the above is surprising given my society and upbringing. :) > I have a head full of cotton wool, and lovely luminous > mucous. I love > colds, me. Aww, poor you!
