Psychologicsays...I like Silverman even more now. I wish I could attend the convention... it sounds awesome.

VoodooVsays..."if you don't have a god"
once again, god and religion are being melded into one thing. God and religion are two separate things.
"does a creator exist?" That's one question. There could be a creator, or there may not be one. I'm an agnostic because I say "I don't know." The definition of atheism that I *repeatedly* see states "no, there is no creator" so by that metric, agnostics are NOT atheists
Assuming you do believe that there is a creator, that leads to the second question, "what do you think that creator wants you to do?" That's where religion comes into play. What if there is a creator, but that creator doesn't care what you do? or what if that creator wants you to find your own way instead of being dictated to by commandments and popes and priests. So now you have a creator..but no religion. Personally, I've never had any problem with the idea of a creator, but this notion that a creator wants you to worship it and constantly give thanks is pretty absurd. Why would a creator NEED worship? why would it want it's creation spending a large amount of time worshiping it and doing it's bidding? Why would a creator need minions? why would a creator NEED subservient subjects? People refer to "God's Army" What does a creator need of an army? It's ridiculous.
A creator is one question, religion is another. There could be a creator, but even if there is, most, if not all religions are demonstrably stupid and/or harmful.
