Thanks.
Oh, and as for Pascal's wager... he was only thinking of one particular God. If you factor in everyone's gods, the odds look a little less favourable to any one position.
But hey! If you need/want/like the idea of a sky god to help you live your life... groovy. (it's the dogmatism they tend to bring with them that i'm against)
