In your position I don't think I was so generous.. so kudos to you (emoticon removed, because I hate them)
Thanks. I am a strong supporter of individual liberty and that includes religion. I do not condemn anyone on a personal level until they do something to deserve my scorn. And it takes a lot usually.

I suppose someone could consider that a reason to believe, but if they did... they probably don't really believe... which would interfere with the whole 'placebo effect' they were going for by choosing to delude themselves. *laughs*
It doesn't cut it as a reason for me, because I know that a happy life is quite easily attainable without a god's help. Not even a pretend one.

Expect a visitation from some kickass godesses of PAIN soon!
The goddesses are far too nice to condemn me for disliking emoticons. See... I am not telling them they can't use them... only that I won't. Ha!
Oh... and to clarify: I only dislike the big animated ones. Regular 'smilies' aren't too bad in moderation.
