			i've gone through several religions/spiritual practices... but i find spiritism to be the most complete and relevant.  a quote by Einstein: "religion without science is blind, science without religion is lame" belief gives meaning i think... |

			I'm agnostic because since it's impossible to prove or disprove a god's existance I can't feign or claim certainty to either side. To me that's committing to an answer simply for an answer's sake, and that's just how relgioin started--inventing answers to questions we couldn't answer honestly. I prefer uncertainty to a filler answer. I'm okay with knowing that we don't know something. I'm inline with atheism in that i reject the idea of a personal god who takes requests and violates the laws of physics to manipulate our world. I believe religion's practice of providing filler answers (supplanting "we don't yet know why" with "'cuz god") dangerously hinders intellectual pursuit and is the greatest challenge to human advancement today. |
