Me too John. Literally every day. Sometimes I'm simply gobsmacked (Heather's term) at the astonishing beauty around me, and it's inconceivable to me that it just happened "by chance". There are other times when a series of "coincidences" lead to something amazing...and I have to think "this can't just be luck". My well known cynicism about religion is based almost wholly on two things. #1. How religious LEADERS exploit folks who dearly need answers to survive this life. and...#2. Fundamentalists of any stripe who use religion to advance intolerance of others. T'aint God who makes me mad it's his P.R. team.
