Mike,
Pardon me for jumping in, but I am simply a little curious about your position. Do you believe in God?
Do you reject the idea that God / a creator exists (which would imply that the Cosmos somehow "made itself")?
Or do you simply reject the idea of God in the form presented by Christian churches, or perhaps by religions in general?
Hilmar.
