| Professor Mayhem, outstanding response.  I don't know if I am an atheist yet, but I find myself in agreement with everything you said.  I am most likely agnostic, with leftovers from my Christian and Buddhist influences, but atheism appeals to me more and more as I get older.
 Great thread... it has been enlightening to read these intelligent, measured responses.
