Philebus pretty much summed up my thoughts on the subject, with some reservations re the matter of objective morality. I believe it - or a reasonable facsimile - exists but it is not a simple IF-THEN structure but has a very deep and complex architecture.
I do, however, take great exception to being told (not by philebus) that I base my beliefs on celebrities and/or governments. They would be the very last people I would ever look to for enlightenment, instruction or truth. In fact, I have a hard wired distrust of anyone in a position of "authority", simply because the people who gravitate to such posts are usually those least fit to hold them.
