Okay, I can often do diplomacy. So here goes:
I think that agnosticism is the only rational position in this
argument,
that everything else, atheism included, is as much a matter of
personal
wishes and comfort as anything else.
I disagree - atheism is a perfectly rational position. There are many
forms of god espoused, many religions, and none seem to have any more
authority than any others. It just seems to depend where you're born
on which you get told is true. So it's not such a leap to think that
they're *all* stories. Plenty of good life lessons and moral issues
taught through those stories, but just stories nevertheless.
Of course, none of the above is surprising given my society and
upbringing. :)
Indeed not.
I have a head full of cotton wool, and lovely luminous

colds, me.
Aww, poor you! Well, you'll feel better tonight...
