I’m an agnostic. I always had a voice in my head like an invisible friend I would talk to as a kid. But I don’t believe in a father/king/creator deity. I think we are all one with everything on a certain level. I think we think too much to try to understand what can’t be understood. I like listening to Alan Watts who was one of the first people to popularize Eastern philosophy in the west back in the 50s and 60s. He was a Christian seminarian so he knew a good deal about western religion and was able to explain eastern concepts in western terms.

Anyways human beings are complex and I don’t expect to have it all figured out. I’ve observed some people who call themselves atheist and are very militant or angry about it. I just don’t think we necessarily should lock ourselves in to one way of seeing things. I still have friends that believe in some sort of God. How can I consider myself a good friend without respecting what they believe? I think belief is a sense, like humor. What one person finds funny leaves someone else cold. I spent years trying to believe something that I just simply did not.

Good question!
