After putting ~30 minutes of thought into analyzing my beliefs I'd say that I don't believe in a God or multiple Gods. But I might be open to the old "clock maker(s) who walked away from his/her/their creation" concept. In any case, I don't feel the need to attend a church service, and I do believe in nothingness (aside from lots of rotting [except for those who are cremated]) after death. I'm even less inclined to accept documents written by people (and are therefore fallible) as the word/command of a God. This isn't to say that I don't respect peoples' beliefs in their Gods. I think people should be perfectly free to practice their religions as they wish. I just don't want people to attempt to force me to join in ("Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, "In God We Trust" on money, the 10 Commandments on display for the public in Local, State, and Federal buildings, et cetera). I guess I'll stop before I start some sort of flame war.
