hurmph. I have still yet to see anything that tells me that God "cares" (not
to mention exists). The only reason that I can't say I don't believe in god is
that I admit the possibility that such a being does exist, and it's beyond me
to comprehend it. I've no proof one way or the other.

well now. I've decided years ago that if there is such a thing as god, I'd
refer to it as a she, just because that will make things more interesting. I
never said that said God is the one mentioned in the Bible, or the Koran, or
the Tora... as my wife rightly points out, who cares what chromosomes God has,
if it's xx or xy? why would god even have a gender?
"It's just the way it is"? what way is that again? is that what it says in
the book you're reading? why would I believe that book, and not the one next
to it?
