There's enlightenment to be found here? I think of it more as time wasting while at work.

maybe being enlightened is being able to waste time on the internet while being at work and getting payed.

I get lots of sun, I'm not that light. Hell, I'm working nights so I have all day to absorb solar radiation.

Eh, perhaps I came across as stern when I was not trying to be.

yes work is pretty good. I am in an underground bunker, in a NASA Mission control looking office. The far wall is made up of 18 150 inch screens.

When things are smooth, I have all kinds of browse time. When something crashes my evening descends into hell.

I worship the Lords Crunchy, Melty, Spicy, and Grilled, who reign on their four thrones in that great Taco Bell in the sky. Believers will be blessed with short lines, warm food, and as many Volcano Tacos as they can stomach. Non-believers, unless they repent, will be forced to wait in a never ending line for all eternity, slowly starving. Blasphemers will burn in a giant vat of fire sauce.

Jesus welcomes you all into his home. Praise be the lord!

I don't follow no religion.

Bow to a DJ, worship the rhythm.

@OP -
Bill Maher is an agnostic. Dawkins is actually an agnostic as well if you take him at his word on Maher's show. He said that the existence of God was truly a question beyond answering, and that he could not say for 100% sure that there is no higher power, and as such would be an agnostic. Obviously he feels like an atheist, because he went on to say that it was probably as likely as the existence of fairies, but the lack of concrete dogmatic rhetoric resounding with the hyperbole usually implemented by believers and atheists regarding whether or not there is a higher power firmly settles him in agnosticism by definition, no matter how he tries to distort definitions of technical terms.

More on topic, I'm glad to see so many agnostics.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

* That we can live full, meaningful lives, without religious doctrines, by relying for rationality, honesty, cooperation, fairness, and respect for each other.
* That we use democratic principles, logic, and scientific inquiry to find realistic solutions to problems.
* That we foster good ethics, virtues and critical thinking in our children to help them grow to be decent, responsible and active members of society.
* That we protect and improve the Planet for future generations by scientific breakthroughs, in medicine and technology and by not inflicting needless suffering on other species.
* That separation of religion and state is upheld in all levels of government to ensure equality and fairness for all.

Regards,
Mg
