	Thank you very much, Pat. I find it intriguing that the most intolerant
attitudes towards my opinions come from God whorshipers.  They feel I am either
crazy, or engaging in satire, or deluded. When and if I finally get to talk
seriously with them (many just claim I'm the antichrist and leave it at that),
their ``problem'' with my opinions is the list of ``assumptions'' that I make.
It is often difficult to keep from laughing at such a statement, considering
the enormous list of incredible assumptions you must make to believe in God as
a being worthy of whorship in the first place.

Be well,
