*EDIT: I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'm posting what I believe, just like the tons of 'god' journals all over this site. I don't comment on them, I don't flame them, I don't argue with them. If you don't like what I post here, don't read it. I'm an atheist, period. If you don't like the fact that I believe differently from you, here's the bottom line: I really don't care. But no matter what, I deserve the same 'respect' you think all the religious folks deserve, which is the right to post what they think. Remove me and/or my journal from your watch if you're that offended.
