Eventually, it got through.....

Smokey got it. Quoting Douglas Adams was perhaps my way of saying it is difficult to take this thread too seriously, as there is no test for an atheist. There is no test for not being a stamp collector and as my idea of being a non stamp collector is not to have to subject myself to being tested, and as atheist means in the grand scheme of things, irrreligious, then there is no test of an atheist. It is a non stance, a stance against a stance if you wish.

The fact that Mr Adams channelled his contempt of religion through his comedy is a by product.

Somewhere above, I did acknowledge the difficulty of infinity as a concept. By the same token, infinity minus one is an oxymoron. It is to make the unquantifiable a quantity. That concept has more to do with religion than reality...

Only the one PhD mate. Only threw that in at your request for source.
