   That  just makes you an asshole. I have no axe to grind. I don't   
   even own an axe. As I said earlier, but I doubt you had enough   
   brains to read, or understand, go tell the Buddhism monk I was   
   talking to that he does not believe in gods. Oh, I guess he had   
   an axe to grind too..... does everyone that disagrees with you   
   have an axe to grind?
