The Oracle pursued a logical course of confuting theism, and leaving 'a-theism' the negative result. It did not, in the absurd terms of common religious propaganda, 'deny the existence of God.' It affirmed that God was a term for an existence imagined by man in terms of his own personality and irreducible to any tenable definition. It did not even affirm that 'there are no Gods'; it insisted that the onus of proof as to any God lay with the theist, who could give none compatible with his definitions.

When I was twelve, my sixth-grade English class went on a field trip to see Franco Zeffirelli__ film adaptation of Shakespeare__ Romeo and Juliet. From that moment forward I dreamed that someday I__ meet my own Juliet. I__ marry her and I would love her with the same passion and intensity as Romeo. The factthat their marriage lasted fewer than three days before they both were deaddidn__ seem to affect my fantasy. Even if they had lived, I don__ think theirrelationship could have survived. Let__ face it, being that emotionally aflame, sexually charged, and transcendentally eloquent every single second can really start to grate on a person__ nerves. However, if I could find someone to love just a fraction of the way that Montague loved his Capulet, then marrying her would be worth it.
