I used to consider myself an agnostic, until a philosophy professor asked me if I believed that Santa Claus might exist. Since then, I've discovered that I'm a weak friendly atheist. Strong atheism denies the existence of any god, while weak atheism denies the existence of a particular god. Also, unfriendly atheism denies that rational bases for religious belief exist, while friendly atheism admits of possible rational bases for religious belief.

A few years ago, I would have denied that anything existed beyond the physical world. I've since become less dogmatic. Who knows what strange mysteries the universe might hold?

Don't forget to factor in the cost of that big screen TV. I can go to a movie once a week at $30/visit for two years before you can break even on a $3,000 + tax TV.

Then again, I never spend $30 at the movie theatre, nor do I go on an even semi-regular basis.
