well what would be the purpose of a belief if it had no consequences? i guess that's the
real difference between philosophy and religion
i don't think people without religious faith are more senseless
than those who have faith, which is not what i meant at all
by my "sensitivity" comment, what i was trying to say
is that some people are more concerned with living in
harmony with their beliefs and having a coherent position and such
whereas other people are more interested in 'life' than 'ideas'
i don't have to try to imagine what it's like to be an atheist,
i was an atheist most of my life, trying to make it a coherent
position eventually lead me to nihilism, which set me up
for some interesting religious experiences
truth for me is very personal,
i just like to encourage the idea that the scientific worldview
is a dead end
