Aw, no need to feel defeated though. I have no problem with
atheism - I just couldn't adopt it myself. I mean, if you find
atheism a sane, logical choice, by all means. I wouldn't say
that declaring myself agnostic was sane or logical... it's just
generally more accurate for me. But I wouldn't say it's right
for anybody else. i don't know what the objectively correct
answer is for everybody. I'm just trying to find what i can
stand by. It's a pain in the ass too. I only found a few things
I could stand by. Agnostic. Embodied cognition.
Metaphors-as-basis-for-understanding, the importance of
creativity. Getting along with fellow humans is more important
than being winning a battle. Stuff like that. But not a whole
lot. I figured by now I'd have a lot more answers that I could
stand by honestly. But I suppose i can be happy for where I'm at
so far. The journey of understanding one's own perspective in
the world is likely a lifetime endeavor for people who are
curious and questioning and for me personally, I find it a lot
of fun. I love being wrong now for I learn how to be right
better next time. Well, I prefer to be right but rather, I
embrace being wrong not as a bad thing at all but an awesome
thing. What did they see that I didn't see? What's missing from
my perspective? How am I being thick headed right now? Every day
I get an opportunity to screw up and fix. I love it. That's
something I could recommend.
