*From Luke 2: 8-14*
“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
I am at best an agnostic, but there are things I believe in very much. Among them are great writing (see above), “joy which shall be to all people”, and “peace and good will toward men.”
How about we go for it in 2006?
To all who read this: Have a safe and beautiful holiday.

UPDATE APRIL 2008: Atheist now. Still like a good bunch of words though.
