Oh, I wouldn't like to put you to any bother, Keith! Actually, I tend to agree with McGrath that: "Playing numbers games isn't really too relevant here."

I also agree with Steve (I agree with him a lot!) that God botherers invented atheists - hence, I do not accept the label "atheist".

Finally, describing the Pope as a "shaman" was supposed to be provocative! But why should it be offensive? After all, aren't shamans supposed to be intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the supernatural world? Isn't that what Christian priests claim to be?
