hehehe... ok, good enough... you're not a religious person, are you? i make 
that comment only in that "proof of god" is not readily apparent either...
 PF> Until then:
 PF>  NO tooth fairy without proof;
 PF>  NO intelligent life on other planets without proof;
 PF>  NO guilt without proof.
 PF> Is that simple or what?
well, "tooth fairy" and "intelligent life" are 'positive' things. "guilt" is 
a 'negative' thing... "innocence" is a 'positive' thing... sure, if one were 
to believe that comparing apples and oranges is a valid approach then one 
would believe the above... >
your third line, above, comes out incorrectly for what you are apparently 
trying to say... make them all 'positive' or make them all 'negative' then 
try again ;-)
