I don't argue for or against a god.  I just don't consider it.

Hey Tim, I have a question. It's a serious one, so don't take it the 
wrong way. How do you not consider God? I mean, how do you not think 
about it? 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...
