That's right. Well, technically, it only could prove to be right at some indeterminate point of time in the future (or, possibly, past, provided time travel is ever invented). And all that because I had to take a potty break.
Seriously though, it occured to me that should I ever win the lottery despite never playing, that would be a sign from on high that my faith in the possibility that there might or might not be a god(s) and it doesn't really matter so much as long as one tries to do reasonably right is entirely correct.
Therefore, were this to happen, I should use my winnings to found the Church of Evangelical Agnosticism and convert people to the belief in not believing, but not ruling out, either.
Well, technically, merely the belief in not believing, because totally ruling out god(s) the way atheists do is merely another form of belief until such a time as the non-existance of any and all gods is conclusively proven.
I think the message here is "can't we all just get along". What with Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, Christian fundamentalist warmongering presidents of certain nations and Atheist fundamentalists going about flaming anyone who actually has faith in something on various Internet forums, I guess this might just be the counterweight to Fundamentalism At Large that this world needs about now.
So All Hail Evangelical Agnosticism!
