Oh, I'll be celebrating all right. No church for me though. As a matter of fact I was in Bath on Saturday and I wanted to go into Bath Abbey, a cathedral in all but name, one of my very favourites. Unfortunately there was a carol concert on so I wouldn't have been able to sidle around, just sit there and listen to the sweet nothingness (no, thanks), so I went for a stroll by the River Avon instead. The sun was out, the day was mild and God was in his heaven. I apply the title " atheist" to myself as a matter of convenience only, Bill, as I can't be arsed to explain my exact stance every time it comes up as it would take about three sentences. I don't know whether there's a God or not, but I conclude that the scales are tilted strongly against him if I rely on evidence and reason alone (which I do). I'd be very suspicious of any atheist who said he was rock-solid certain. Real atheists don't think that way.
