Snail,

Straw men seem to be your speciality.

I've just been looking at various different versions of the 10 commandments to find out a bit more about them as I'm not well informed on that subject.

Having looked around at some of the many options available, I haven't found any that say "I'm God - Don't argue".
Again, if you could refer to something that somebocy has actually said somewhere at sometime on thiis subject as opposed to creations of your own mind, it could prove helpful.

Steve,

ok - so you don't like the word "believe" because you don't want to say what you do or don't believe in. However, your view of the world does not include God.

This is an unsuccesful attempt to seperate what you think from what you believe.

It implies that you could hold a view of the Universe into which god does not exist, yet believe in Gods existence - and that is clearly not possible as it boils back down to "I don't want to say whether or not I think God exists, but I think he doesn't exist.

And there is nothing absurd about saying that you believe Bertrand Russels Magic Teapot doesn't exist.

I don't believe that Bertrands Magic Teapot exists.

There - I said it ... am I still sane?

Well I'm no worse ...

I think your point is a bit of overcomplicted jiggery pokery.
