Hi Steve,

A couple of years ago, I went to the Emergency Room at the local 
hospital.  It was my first time at this particular hospital so they 
asked me a bunch of questions.  One question was my religion.  I was 
struck dumb by the question for at least a minute, and then mentally 
scrambled for a correct answer.  Witch?   Pagan?  Atheist?  Because 
there are so many religious nuts running about these days, and being 
a coward, I said agnostic.
