You would probably like Mark Twain then.. My religious status tends to change with my moods. It is kind of fun to be able to *anticipate* future spiritual beliefs based on mental status. Biology determines mentality, and mentality determines spirituality, and spirituality determines subjective reality? So is *that* subjective reality truly real?? :)
