I think it would be kind of cool if belief in deity (or gravity, or atoms) actually did bring deity into existence...
on a side note of that.. since we are 'bio-electric' entities.. and the law is that energy cannot be destroyed.. where does that energy go? I've been grappling with that one for a decade or so.. I have a theory or two... the main one being that it is returned to a central pool of energy to be re-distributed (randomly) to the next 'wave' of life... although the downside to that I have seen ghosts and the accounted for Joplin Ghost lights.. and have had a number of odd experiences to make me (want) to believe in the soul as an existing object... I have a couple of stories and I have witnesess (sp?... long f*cking day) to what happened and the bulk of them are more objective/less idealistic than I... oh I could ramble on but I don't think I can articulate it in the right way.. damn non-crystalyn thinking!

limey is an atheist, though limey probably already knew this. Also, limey probably have several people praying daily for limey's soul. Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.
atheism, 88%; agnosticism, 75%; Paganism, 54% ; Islam, 54%; Buddhism, 50%; Hinduism, 46%; Satanism, 46%; Judaism, 38%; Christianity, 33%. I'd probably have described myself as an agnostic, but I'm happy with this. Am I the only atheist here?

according to the test I am a Pagan. This is probably the closest to the truth....
