Life, the Universe and Everything...

When facing an avalanche of work and no spade strong enough to dig myself out of impending doom, I wimperingly turn to surfing the web for psychological escape. And in doing so today, I came across Belief o'Matic. A site which informs me of what religion's beliefs most closely align to mine. Its disclaimer: Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul.

Now, in years of yore, in the midst of a religious argument with someone I admire very much, I was "accused" of being a Pantheist. I was thrilled. "Yes," I cried out, to his incredulity, "I am! I am! I'm a Pantheist!" Oh, the euphoria. He was not impressed.

I was expecting to discover yet again that I am a seditious pantheist, with a strong Jewish ethical grain.

Imagine my surprise:

I can only imagine that Pantheism is not an option as it's a philosophy. But to be more of a Jehovah's Witness (???) than a Pantheist... Ain't no way.

But I guess I'd best be getting back to work. Reports don't get written without a Creator. :)
