Offering to the bug.


	In response to arndt:

	In reply to your quoted definition of an agnostic, I say:
	
	I don't know if I am an agnostic.

	 I don't know if a god exists.
	I don't know what a god is.

	 I don't know if anyone else can know if god exists.
	I don't know if anyone else can know what a god is.

	 I don't know if an agnostic can exist.

	 Frankly, sometimes it surprises me that anything exists
 	at all.  ( I've said this before)


	But I know that the faith I do have is just as valid, just
	as irrational or rational, just as constructive as any other.
	It is a great source of strength and peace.  It doesn't bother
	me if nobody else agrees with me.
	I don't need faith in god.  I'm happy, my life has
	meaning and direction, and I have a passable set
	of morals.

	Don't judge me until you've seen Conan the Barbarian.
	mail is welcome.
