I understand where you're coming from being sceptical about god (I'm assuming that you're an atheist from your posts. ), and you make good points.. but it's pretty much a choice of "God exists, we're not accidents, there's something after our flesh expires" or "We're completely random. Everything's random, there is no purpose of existing and we are just a fluke that for some reason keeps reproducing and reproducing and reproducing.. There are no souls and nothing after our flesh expires, we're not gonna see our dead pets or family afterward and the concept of sentience is utterly pointless since the spark of thought expires with the body." I'd rather be erring on the side that there is a god.. not because I fear some kind of retribution (again.. the guy runs the whole universe.. I doubt he really cares.), but simply because the second is entirely too depressing..
hmmm... I actually had a really bad arguement with a guy other this a few months ago. Strange thing is, he was the one telling me that our only purpose is to pass on our DNA and cop it ^_^ (though i'm not sure if that was a theory, or whether he just thinks about sex alot )

I don't believe in god, but I do try to look at things with a little more wonder than the classic Atheist would... as such I suppose I do try to be open to ideas (as long as the don't oppress or exclude...) Just don't expect to see me in Heaven or whatever if I'm getting it wrong

Edit: and I totally agree with how its either one choice or the other. In the end though, its a choice I'm probably not all-knowing enough to make
