I figured out what was wrong with my mail last night and everything is working
now... There seems to be an odd gap in my inbox from the middle of the night,
though, so either some messages got delayed or bounced along the way.

I do know that I have this need/calling/inner voice telling me that there is more out there than I can logically explain away through science.I agree with the second part of that, though I personally don't have that need/calling/inner voice thing going on. That's why I'm not an atheist. As someone educated in science and with a solid scientific worldview, I just don't get atheists.
Now that all of Blue's thinks that I'm a religious nutNah, I have religious friends. I even know a couple of catholics. My sister keeps telling me she wants to go back to church and I understand why--it has nothing to do with God or Jesus or salvation--so I keep my mouth clamped firmly shut. My comments about rationality applied only to comparing one organized religion to another, not individuals. My original point still holds: that often in our culture the deeply entrenched mainstream religious dogma we've been exposed to all of our lives will seem instinctively reasonable when compared to other dogma associated with the "cults." I finally reached the point where I can get past that: Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Hari Krishna's, Scientologists, Christians: they're all equally nutso. Except I will concede something to you Heather. I now change that to "almost all."
