Of course I am. The little green men communicate with me via my fillings and tell me
so. They send me detailed plans for my Technic models.

Because this is what people who do believe and study those religions have told me - I
am respecting their belief and passing it on in this discussion. Often in religious
arguments/debates/discussions the notion of infinite regression of Gods comes up, and
the answer I have most often heard from believers of Western style religions are that
God is it - there is no God for God, as he created everything.
I am simply saying that for those who believe in God in a certain way, this is how
they tell me they see it.

Just because someone practices a religion at some place on or off planet (which
astronaut said "And in the beginning..." from orbit?) does not indicate the origins of
that religion. When I say "Western based monetheistic religions" I am referring to
mainstream religions mainly originating in the West, such as Christianity, which
I gather is the most popular religion in the western world.
And if you think you're going to drag me into a debate about evolution being a
religion you've got another thing coming ;-)
