Well, you never know. I feel obliged to tell you one story, actually it's a cartoon that somehow was printed in one Soviet magazine many years ago. The picture is following: rural club with big slogan on the wall "Today's Lecture: God doesn't exist". The speaker stands on the scene, and ... in the first row sits a man with all known attributes: nimb, beard, clothes etc. The lecturer anxiously talks to himself: 'Damned. Why did he come to my lecture?'

>This is why I have so much trouble with it all - well, one of the main reasons at least. There was a time when people believed in many gods. Mythology is mythology, and until somebody can give me a good explanation of why one 'Jack of all trades' god is better than a lot of specialized gods, and that there is some reason why this one shouldn't be viewed as just another mythology, I suppose I'll just keep seeing it that way.
