Wow,

I was looking for the weather page to see if it will snow here in the

near future so that I can go out and play in 'God's Country' and feel

the power of the great outdoors rushing through my veins, and this is

the site that popped up instead. I have been reading a few interesting

books lately on life, and death, and humans and why we're here, and the

lack of such a thing as coincidences, and I had to respond to your web

site, after all since there is no such thing as coincidence, I must have

landed here for a reason.

It makes the hairs on my neck stand when I read this negative humbug

that you must have felt when writing and laying out your site, and I

feel sorry for you.  I have a degree in Anthropology, so Darwin's

theories have been tatooed in my brain, and I know he wasn't an atheist.

Why do things have to be so black and white for people here in North

America. I came from a communist country where religion was illegal, and

my mom and dad used to sneak us into an underground church for Christmas

and Easter, risking jail and endless government harrassement. Since we

came to Canada 23 years ago, I have been to church twice, but you know

what, it dosn't matter.  I see the Universal intelligence at work every

waking moment. I live in the mountains, and ski, and snowboard, and

hike, and bike, and run, and spend a lot of time outdoors, and it's

there - whatever you want to call it, god, Allah, Buddha whatever, it's

there, when you are face to face with a bear, or a rutting elk, your

priorities change a little.  And if you look deep down inside you,

you'll find it, and life will be so much more fun for you. Go outside

have fun, and chill and you'll find the peace, love and whatever else

your life is lacking. You don't need a priest, or a minister, or a

psychologist just go out and breathe some fresh clean air, and enjoy

what nature has to give. You'll be amazed!
