I think atheists and religious people alike just have the need to feel secure in a belief, either one way or the other.......... whereas us agnostics just say "eh, who fuckin cares?...... maybe maybe not, maybe I'll find out when I die.... maybe, maybe not"
I think that expresses a certain amount of personal security. It takes a secure person to be able to say "I don't know" and be okay with that. Sometimes it's the most reasonable answer. There's a LOT that I just don't know and I would feel arrogant and close-minded to try to proclaim otherwise. When you claim to know, you stop looking for answers.
right on
To question existence just seems like a royal waste of time to me. Im too busy enjoying the things I can see, feel, hear, taste, smell and eat to sit around wondering about their ultimate meaning in the grand scheme of all things. If there is a god and he wanted us to know the ultimate meaning of life and creation, I think he would have laid it all out in front of us like a kids story book with lots of pictures, detailing every decision so that a child could understand it, and the fact that he doesnt, assuming there is/was a god, tells me he doesnt want us to know. So, if he doesnt want us to crack his code, what makes us think we could do it against his wishes. HE'S GOD FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! WE CANT PULL ONE OVER ON HIM!!!
On the other hand, if there is no god, theres no point in wasting your life trying to figure out what happened before recorded history either.
Im here to enjoy life to the fullest possible extent. Im not here to question it.
Your life remains the same in either case.
Enjoy fuckers!!!
