I agree with that. My point was that I'm not skeptical or doubtful about the existence of a personal interventionist god; rather, that I think the likelihood is about the same as that leprechauns gambol around the countryside, based on my evaluation of the evidence I've seen during my life.
In other words, there's more than two approaches; we're not limited to being either a believer or a skeptic.
I also fully agree with you about the benefit of gratitude laying mostly within the grateful. I'm starting to think gratefulness might be the most powerfully positive Force in life! (and I thank you for pointing that out!
