I respect that. You're like the Christian who gets the giant cross tattooed on his bicep, or the Bible verse that he doesn't actually know. I firmly believe that all religions deserve to have their douchebag representation.

Thanks!! You seem nice.
Edit:
FTR I do hear what you are implying, and the user name isn't the greatest... but 5 years ago when I picked my name I was spending a lot of time on here lurking and reading all the religious arguments back and forth and had just finished reading a few books by Strobel called A Case for Christ/Faith - and was in the middle of Dawkins book the God Delusion - kind of feeling my way through and was amazed at the interesting discussion on CP. I picked an agnostic username - meant to mean "searching" and remain to this day unaffiliated but open minded to all things I don't pretend to know. Its by name a Chiefs board - but is also where I get my news, laughs, media, etc..
Also Bufkin "#1ChiefFan!1!!" was taken and a heads up: Hypothesis- a proposition, or set of propositions, set forth as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena, either asserted merely as a provisional conjecture to guide investigation (working hypothesis) or accepted as highly probable in the light of established facts.
