"... no man shall be blamed for reasoning in the maintenance of his own religion." Thomas More (1478 - July 6, 1535 @ age 57) NOTE: Canonized by the Roman Catholic church 1935; Saint More?
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), U.S. president. Letter, 10 Aug. 1787.

I make a sincere effort to not fall in love with the first deity / religion that happens by. And if the one true god finds this offensive, despite the hundreds of different options there are to believe in / fall for, or worse if I'm to be punished by eternal torment for my sincerity, then I'd be glad not to worship any such deity.
