you live in this world, and a huge number of people base their decisions on what they believe their god wants of them. you are affected. it determines how much you pay for gas, how you are treated at the airport, how you used the internet, whether or not you can be monitored by the government, and literally countless other things.

Actually, neither I nor anyone that I know personally knew someone in NYC, or Katrina, but I do see your point. I never meant to argue that I, and by extension the world, are not effected by god, whether or not he exists, I think that's pretty obvious.
I guess I was pretty broad when agreeing to the definition a few posts back, but what I mean by 'kinda' was that gods existence doesn't play a part in
my life, as per beliefs, morals, etc.
