I've had it up to here with your denials. You don't know, and you have no way of knowing. I have quit listening to you and become a pantheist -- I'm never going to badmouth another deity, and if you were wise, you would do likewise. With all the ones out there, one of them has to have some bona fides. Carl Sagan used to talk about how with all those billions and billions of stars, there were also billions and billions of planets that could support life, so we likely aren't alone in the universe. Similarly, with all the hundreds of thousands of deities that have attracted worship throughout history, so we likely aren't alone there either. Let me point out the advantages of pantheism:
* Every day on the calendar is a religious holiday to some group, so you can be excused from working if you celebrate them all.
* It's like being the house when you take Pascal's wager -- and the house always wins.
* If there's faith based money floating around, they can't exclude you from a share of it.
* If you don't want to eat something, there's probably a religious prohibition against it.
* If you do want a second helping of something, it's probably the food of the Gods in another religion.

I invite you all to attend Mass on Sunday and say some prayers to Aristaeus with me. That way, you don't have to have those plain boring Catholic crackers with your wine, but you can top them with some nice cheese, gift of the Lord Aristaeus.
