I don't argue for or against a god. I just don't consider it. As I've said previously, having been raised Catholic, I always expect the big guy to strike me down one day, but I kind of like what Woody Allen says in "Stardust Memories": "To you I'm an atheist -- to [God] I'm the loyal opposition." --tim o'connor
