No creed. No clergy. Amo ergo sum.  I am.. therefore it must be the case that you exist.

Atheism is the absence of belief in God. Spiritual experiences happen when electrical currents run across the temporal lobes of our brains and we do not know why, but we do know that if the experience were other than part of our survival it would have atrophied.

Man JO your sure have it in for empires. Have you ever considered that they are not created in a vacuum, that they self assemble out of mini-empires and once they have sufficient mass gravity takes overs. There is never going to be an empire-less modern world.
