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.
