I've frequently been called an atheist. This is by way of clarification of my position...
Said the master, "If you want me to be perfectly honest with you, I will not answer."
Later the disciples demanded to know why he had not answered.
"Because the question is unanswerable," said the Master.
"So you are an atheist?"
"Certainly not. The atheist makes the mistake of denying that of which nothing may be said... and the theist makes the mistake of affirming it."
Anthony de Mello
I'm glad to have cleared that up;)

Haha :) Very good, Mr Riley :)
...bows... As A de M says somewhere else, Sue, I'm an Ass, you're an Ass. I know nothing, and when I really know that I 'know nothing' I know everything I need to know, and can have a really good laugh about it, 'cos it's cosmically comic...
And then Life finally wakes up in me, as me, and starts really doing its stuff, often with a big stupid grin on its face... even on a Monday morning:)
