It seems the question of subjectivity is your key point. And it is true that everything is subjective. Nothing is truly objective depending on the person. However, we are not only what exist on earth. You are not the being, neither am I, that would decide which views fit acceptably into life. The world comprises of billions of people. It is the culmination of all our view points that should determine right and wrong. Surely the subjective views of the masses would eventually dominate into creating standards that would allow for a maximum degree of happiness to be achieved by its inhabitants. With or without religious dogma.

honestly, i think it's all introspective. you can only help yourself. you can try to help others, sometimes you'll be successful and sometimes you won't. work towards your own happiness and it will affect the people you are with. enliven your environment... that's what i do with my music, and that's why it is my lifelong dedication.

But would you agree that religion is not absolute? And that we would have been able to live without it. Which is the root of these exchange of viewpoints.

i made my beliefs clear: humanity's conceptions AND religion isn't absolute, and, i already said i wasn't religious... but we are all dedicated to something. we all have a religion, however i don't mean this in the conventional sense. some people believe music is a religion you know? that we couldn't live without it. isn't it funny that people worship things that aren't really necessary for life? sometimes i consider music more important than food and water!
