If it matters (which it doesn't), I am basically agnostic.  I won't believe without
proof, and NOONE to date has shown proof.

I "have faith" that I am right, that God doesn't exist until he taps me on the
shoulder, so noone will really be able to convince me otherwise, just as we can't
convince you that he DOESN'T exist, as you have faith he does.

You must have a strange definition of debating.  IN NO WAY do you have to
state your own position to debate.  In fact, some of the best debates you can
have is from BOTH sides debating the view opposite to theirs.

I can't debate unless _you_ state, or refer me to your position.

Call me lazy, but I couldn't find what you personally believe stated. I tried a
few searches, but I don't have time to ready 7000+ messages in this group
alone... and then puzzle out your thoughts...

I suppose that's the problem with newsgroup debates - new people join and leave
all the time.
So, are you going to point the way?
