You misinterpret my statements. I agree with your statements
to the effect that the physical world and the spiritual world
are separate. We can neither prove nor disprove the existance of
God - hence I am an agnostic. Note that agnosticism is not the
same thing as atheism.

As far as Christianity goes - I was raised a Christian but cannot
justify what I see going on around me in the name of Christ (or God).
I also cannot see why any one religion (or creation myth) should
be any more believable than any other. My opposition to religion
does not affect my personal beliefs. If there was a religion that
was reasonable and honest, I might find it possible to follow their
teachings.

Thanks for your candid espression of a very personal subject, I will
look forward to further discussions. TnT
