No.

At the bottom of an article in the NY Times about the GOP trying to make Congress cut more to pay for Irene relief, there's this:

In response to another emergency, President Obama called Gov. Rick Perry of Texas on Wednesday to express concern about wildfires that have ravaged the parched state. Mr. Obama said the emergency management agency and the Forest Service would provide federal aid to state and local officials fighting the fires, which have scorched 33,000 acres and destroyed more than 1,000 homes in the last few days.

Why do you feel the need to derail the thread? Make one about that and let the rest debate the OP's topic.

Really, I cannot focus on any topic at hand when I look at your username and think "Where's Perry?" :p

what i believe comes down to this: that nothing has to not exist, but nothing that does exist, has to have a damd thing to do with anything anyone thinks they know about it.
i have a very strong personal feeling that all sorts of neat fun invisible (and mostly harmless) things exist, and just that none of them owe a damd thing to any sort of organized belief.
i certainly accept the possibility that one of them may be many times bigger then anything else, but not the idea that it has to be infallible, nor to have created everything, in order to exist.
(i'll even accept the possibility that big, friendly and invisible picks someone (like christ, moses, baha'u'llah, mohammid, lao tsu, et al) to be channeled by every thousand years, give or take a few hundred.
though perhaps not entirely the certainty of it.)

i also believe however, that aggressiveness and evil are one and the same, no matter what, ideology, economics, or belief is used as an excuse for it,
and that the kind of world we all have to live in, is mostly left up to all of us together, to create by how we act and interact with each other and the rest of existence.

Why not? It's fun to dwell on concepts when you know that it will have no pertinance on your position in the afterlife.
