Except that we got to actually see that.

I have never seen any god. I know lots of people believe in all

sorts

of gods, but none of their stories about these gods make sense to me.
So I don't believe that any god I have ever heard of is anything
except something other people imagine.

So then... you're a *strong* atheist...

And I am fine with people strongly believing things that I don't
believe as long as they don't get upset with my not believing. I
don't go door to door to try talk them out of their beliefs. But

when

they come to my door and try to make me believe, I enjoy discussing
how our minds are different in the area of belief. And sometimes I
try to teach them something about science.

(change of subject)
After seeing some of your art on your web page, I am guessing that

you

began reading my posts on cross posts to alt.religion.angels.

Yeah. I don't even know how I got sucked into this... I think I got
tired of Wooden Head dissin' Mark - a respected friend of mine. I also
got tired of his hypocrisy. *I* am an anti-hypocrisy crusader.

Though
I am not particularly interested in your subject matter, I found

other

things to enjoy in your images.

Are you an artist too?

Only concerning gods that are defined in self contradictory ways. On
the subject of possibilities that can't be logically shot down, I am
open to whatever I find. But so far, the universe, though amazing,
appears to me to be non supernatural in all respects.

So I hear.

Not even close. I am an electrical engineer. I spend most of my time
on usenet teaching newbies about electronics on
sci.electronics.basics. But I enjoy the experience of visual art. I
spent a lot of time exploring the symmetry and subtlety of 'Y'. Your
rendition of Venus was very fine.
