Mike, I can find just as many quotes from other founders that thought the exact opposite. Would you like me to list them? I'm not sure it will do the discussion any good.

See, this is where threads like this go wrong - I don't mind having a calm, friendly discussion about religion, but when someone starts getting preachy and telling me that I'm misguided and just haven't seen the way, and have "turned my back on God", and such other nonsense, because I don't hold the same beliefs as they do, then it irritates me. For me personally, a belief with so many logical contradictions as, say, Christianity does, just doesn't hold any water for me. I don't think less of you because you hold those beliefs despite how it's tenets fly in the face of logic and reason, so why do you apparently think less of me because I don't? I just don't get the attitude...
