In my capital-D Deistic moments--I'm a practicing agnostic most of the time--that's where I put God myself. He's clearly not running around violating the laws of His physics here, there, everywhere.

The bad news is that the more I argue with creationists, the more atheist I get. It's very disillusioning in that area, although there's enough to enjoy overall that I make a hobby of it.

This is one of the really horrible side-effects of creationism. It gives all religion a bad name. It gives conservatism a bad name. It gives Republicans a bad name. The media loves to get hold of someone like ... well, we've got a dozen or so I could name, and put them up as a talking head as a "typical" respresentative of the conservative viewpoint. It's the very worst thing we've got, and it holds the conservative and Republican movements back. No sane person wants to join a movement that seems to be loaded with creationists, and that's the way the media like it. If only we could persuade the creationists to become democrats ...

I've doubled up on my Bible studying and church-going to counter my atheistic urges. Being Catholic, though, I'm already considered a heathen...

(I've given up meat and alcohol for Lent, and I'm fasting, so occasionally I get a little addle brained)
