Although I'm not religious, thanks for the Easter wishes.  We hosted a big family gathering at our house, and had a wonderful time surrounded by loved ones.

Regarding warb's singing - I wasn't trying to deflate him.  He said it was "proof", and I didn't say it wasn't true.  I think I was actually more conciliatory than most religious people would allow for, since the existence of Jesus and God are considered "truth", and anything that contradicts that would be discounted.  Yes I did say that I thought it was improbable, but didn't discount the possibility.

To be more specific, I actually think it is a bit odd that people think that God intervenes on their behalf over relatively minor things like winning a tennis game, or doing well at a singing recital.  Because you know there are probably hundreds or thousands of less fortunate Christians praying for considerably more important things, like rent money, or relief from an illness, or to not get beaten this time by her drunk husband, etc., whose prayers go unanswered.
