This is why I'm religious.

  This is also why I'm agnostic. Thousands of people of equal brilliance have come up with vastly different explanations for what appears to be the same thing. As a conclusion they must all be vastly overconfident.

    Also a legitimate stance. I don't claim to have a corner on the truth, I just find that certain beliefs seem to serve mankind better than others, and they've earned my trust through application.

    I used to call myself an agnostic, but one day about 20 years back I sat myself down and asked, all bullshit and personal feelings aside, which narrative I thought was really true - evolution/chemistry/physics or the invisible hand of spirits. Since then I call myself an atheist.

  Are you being sarcastic? Because I actually think that is a good reason to be religious.
  • OtterCoder 10y ago
    No, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm fairly well read, and I believe in God. I don't think I have a complete knowledge of anything, but I've read and questioned and looked, and yes, I think there's more in favor than against. I also think there are a lot of people who say more than they know, on both sides of the argument, but that's true of any subject.
