Good points, Thorne, and as an open-minded and self confessed--"I honestly don't believe I have the answers"--agnostic, I agree with you completely.

I'd also like to remind people reading this that we do have a number of good people here, at the Library, who also just happen to be theists. While I understand it's not always easy to understand beliefs different from our own, I feel that it's still important to respect them.
