Don't you? I disbelieve in the existence of the Eastern Bunny in the same
way that David Dyer-Bennet disbelieves in afterlives (well, perhaps a bit
more strongly). What's that quote? "Said the atheist to the theist, 'I
submit that we are both atheists. The difference is that I disbelieve one
more god than you do.'" Seems reasonable to me.
