11. If I recall correctly Jefferson was an agnostic.
He found solace several different places.

I'm not really sure Bush is religious, he just listens to the voices in his head.

When it comes down to it, facing death and pain everyone is an agnostic. The nature of life is we do not know. No matter how sure you think you are there are doubts. That is why there are Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Temples, etc..

Actually I am afraid the fundamentalist are right they do go to their own special heaven. My fear is this, I will go with them and it will be my own personal hell. Will Rogers decided he did not want to go to heaven since he was told there were no dogs in heaven. He wanted to go where the dogs go.

Remember this. The three hardest words for a man is "I don't know". Since you are not a man it just comes easier.
