I find this whole atheism thing intriguing. Apparently, this mailing list has at least a few. So I'm wondering, what's your meaning? I mean, why do you read and look at art and have kids and buy houses and write poetry? Aren't you looking for something? Or do you just think whatever you're looking for exists inside you and your frame of reference. Just wondering... Erin "As if you could kill time without injuring eternity." --H.D.
