Herb,
I've found God on several occasions. They all involved massive quantities  of 
alcohol and we really had great conversations. One thing you should know is  
that his name is really Roy. He doesn't understand where this God name came  
from.

I'm  afraid of people that have morals but no religious beliefs. When 
people  that have morals that are not founded in a belief system "higher 
than  themselves", that means that their morals are subject to change.

I  disagree that morals came first then God. I've seen too many people  
radically changed when they found God.
