While I am not an athiest, I understand and cherish many of the points put forth here. While I do believe there is some "higher power"(for lack of a better phrase)I dont believe "it" cares diddly squat about day to day human or extra human affairs. I cant believe that something powerful enugh to spark creation spends his time dicking around in our affairs. Any one who needs to be told by god not to kill his neighbors or diddle his or her own parent needs serious help.
