Just because there is no god (or God, or gods, or Gods....) does not make the universe any less beautiful or amazing, and the freakish chance that sees us here and able to appreciate it and debate whether it is the product of divine intervention or of uncaring natural laws is enough for this aetheist to get by on. Hey! Maybe 'natural laws' IS 'god'!

Which points out something I've long believed -- most people (I don't mean you) really don't know what they're talking about when they use the word "god". "Every religion really worships the same god" and things like that just drive me nuts.
