I don't see that it could be correct to say that I "worship" anything at all whatsoever.


Well, you did say "my belief is that God is". I don't find it unreasonable to assume you worship something since you acknowledge a higher power or cause by labeling it "God".

Mormons are the one riding the fine line believing god is some "dude".

Blake O believes very similar to you.

Blake O? You don't mean Blake T. Ostler do you?

I definitely do not worship it. I agree It was not unreasonable to assume I worship something, but that I worship anything is incorrect. What is thought of as worship is not a requirement for anything in my universe.

LOL! Actually though, being that I subscribe to the "Many Worlds Interpretation" I completely agree with one Trekky thing which is the statement Data made once. I can't recall the quote precisely, but was something along the lines of that "All things which are possible occur".
