Yes. I am a kibologist (all of you familiar with a.r.k are cringing
right now...). Actually, to be serious, I am religious/spiritual --
whatever you wish to call -- in the sence that I look at the world, and
I see more than just science acting on things, and I do such things as
commune with nature, among other beliefs.
I guess the best way to sum it up, is I walk my own path to
`enlightenment'. I know of about two other people who *might* be
considered to have the same `religion' as me, but that might is a big
one (we bounce ideas, theories and philosophies off each other, but we
are by no means consistent).

Organized religion gives me the heebie-jeebies, no real good reason for
it, just a gut feeling that there is something inherently wrong about it
(primary reason why I refuse to put a name on my beliefs and rather just
say kibology if someone asks).
