Now, addressing all the closet agnostics in here, why must there be 'something', and what is the conception of that something if it's not ultimately a god?
Agnosticism is the belief that it's impossible to know with absolute certainty whether there is, or is not a god, so judgment one way or the other, is suspended.

I believe there is something. It's just easier to say God then to give a crash course in quantum physics and transpersonal psychology. For all intents and purposes I'm actually an atheist, because I don't believe in an autonomous, anthropomorphic deity that thinks and acts in the way that humans do. I believe in the collective energy and consciousness of the universe, and to me my spirituality, my faith, is the dynamic between those two things, what I perceive as being God, and my own intention.
