Some friends of mine and I got extremely bored in senior year of high 
school, and started trying to compose a list of arguments for and against 
God's existence. It wound up soundling like something out of Robert 
Fulghum. It was also partly lost to a bad archive file. The original was 
six pages long, and God was ahead by about six arguments- but the 'against' 
side was catching up pretty quickly. Just wondering what y'all thought of 
this; bear in mind that the thing was written by seven or eight high school 
seniors at an all-girls high school in north Jersey.
