hi allen, well no no no no no. not. neg. etc. (god owes us nothin and 
we owe it everythin, some shyster lawyer musta put that deal 
together, which arises: who was the lawyer god in ancien greco?)

fancy, well, ok, yes, but to "believe whatever Other strikes our 
fancy" is not somethin i fancy. "believe" as a concept is overladen 
w/several billion hoards of transcendentalists who've set their fancy 
on it all in order not to become asylum inmates, dopes who have no 
control over themselves and need god for the exact same reason a 
doper needs his dope.

besides, god is just another word for nothing left to lose, and 
nothing ain't worth nothin but its free

'least fer me and bobbi mcgee

Regards,
Kenneth
