[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Let me clarify this. 1. I am a Deist-leaning Agnostic. I have no idea whether there is or is not any sort of Creative Being responsible for the universe. However, I doubt it, mostly because the Universe is far too disorderly and wasteful to have been designed intelligently. However, IF such a being exists, I suspect it to be distant and uninvolved, and not remotely like a 'Father Figure' God. (Except for those of us who had absentee fathers.) If it is at all interested in us, it is for the potential we possess to evolve into a form capable of communicating with/understanding it. (Or, to put it another way, I suspect that the answer to the question "Why are we here?" is "God was lonely, bored, and friendless.") 2. I do not 'hate' any Creative Being. However, I find that any being passing itself off as the God of the Old and New Testaments has a LOT to answer for, and many many reasons for me to dislike it. Most of these I have discussed at length. [/QB][/QUOTE]
