     Some may be pagans, but we don't call them Pagans.

    Gee... How can we get our certificates?  Anything signed by Marvin
Minsky should be worth a small fortune in another fifty years!  And as a
computer scientist myself, I am not kidding on the value of your
signature, kind sir! 
  Despite a rather diverse and often contradictory set of opinions and
rituals, most of us Pagans will admit we have no idea what The Creator
looks like. (After all, we all worship the same Creator.) We just hope we
keep our Creator entertained enough not to end this experiment we call
life.  Shannon's laws of communication, and all that.  (A repeated signal
eventually becomes as noise to the recipient.)
   Nice to see you in this, the ALT.PAGAN forum!
