An interesting blog, and a topic I actually got into a heated debate about with some people recently....

I was brought up as a Catholic, but am not practicing or particularly religious. I don't doubt the existence of a higher power..Hamlet said it best "There are more things in Heaven and Earth Horatio..."

That being said, science and technology has come so far, shown us a near infinite Universe in which we are but a speck. Far removed from the preachings of the writers of the bible or any other religious text for that matter.

On another note, mankind since our inception has had many different religious beliefs and pantheons of gods. Who is to say that there aren't many gods in the cosmos, perhaps no one religion is correct, perhaps the gods of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians etc etc exist somewhere. If we are inclined to believe in one mythical being why not multiple...(Not my particular beliefs, just food for thought).

Myself I'm up in the air...If their is a big all powerful man in the sky...or entire Pantheons of men in the sky, they have an entire universe to focus on, and only the short sighted view of man would dictate that we are the single most important thing to He/she/it/them....end speculation/rant :P
