Hi Ier,
I agree that many have had an experience that resulted in life changes for the good of self and others BUT⌠can you see that you are still assigning agency? Was it a GOD experience or a âphenomenon in the head caused by reaction to existential angst.â? Other than belief, what method of inquiry allowed you to see âproofâ of a god?
Yes, this has been a messy forum with believers, non-believers, and everything in between. Such is the nature of searching the unknown looking for the known. Like the philosopherâs stone, I simply do not see where any form of inquiry has turned lead into gold.
Fixed,
I agree that agnosticism is easier than rigorous religion, but probably for different reasons than most believers assume. Being an agnostic means freedom - terrifying freedom. I am thrown back upon myself to come to an understanding of who, where, and why I am here. It is the utmost in humility and responsibility to say I donât know and to strive to be a good representative of the human species as possible. It ainât easy. But it is much easier than rigorous religious practices where one must be careful to not step on a crackâŚ
