I believe in agnosticism, since no one could jump outside of space-time, whence we cannot affirm nor deny any relation with 'things outside'. That's what I believe, at any rate.

Seriously. See what I don't get is, if God or 'the gods' let such ****** things happen, why don't they appear to us to apologize? Why keep hidden? If I'm just supposed to follow on blind faith, I'll end up dead and broken like John Locke from LOST. The simplest, Occam's Razor answer is, there is no God...

I don't know if I've done this lately, but thank you "” emptym "” for your posts.

your humility knows no bounds, my alfred sargent wearing Jesuit laity friend!
