@Charlymaumushi "There may be this as of yet unimaginable mystical unknown thing"? Well thats pretty meaningless, isn't it? Since that seem on par with wishful thinking, I reckon exactly: why bother?

Yar, cool robot: Thank Engineers!

@EntinludeX Because, there may be a "god" BUT, it's not the same god that I wish existed or the god that people believe in. In other words my definition of a god is very diffrent from christians. (or any religion) In fact if you had my vision of a god you would be considered an atheist or should I say a anything other than religious. Either way I do agree with you. Why bother? Anyway that robot thing is cool. I want one to get the coins that fall between the car seats lol
