List of agnostics

[Phillip Greenlief]

apologies to dave for double post ...

i'm native american, and if there's one thing we have learned, it's to keep our 
mouth shut about spirituality. 

if you have to talk about it (your religion/spirituality), it all goes to hell 
(is it the same with sex?). 

wasn't so very long ago that we were extinguished for our beliefs.

I say, if asked, in hospital emergency rooms and the like, that I am a 
non-believer.  That way you don't have to say what it is you don't believe in. 
They send in someone to talk to you anyway.

Strangely, I do on occasion get the feeling that there is something out there.  
My life seems guided somehow. Not guided particularly well  in many ways, but 
guided.  There's the fact that I'm still here, which seems so incredible.
