Agnostic is the Best Answer

Oh! praise thee the possible lord and savior. If my judgement should falter, may your guessed existence sway me for I do not believe. No, I have not had a stroke. In fact, I believe myself to be a clear thinker full of nonsense as I spread it on the internet. With that thought in mind, I have a query that irks me and I am going to talk about it. That query has to do with whether or not there is a god. There are two sides to this equation. There are the faithful believers who have no doubt about an entity that exists somewhere in the nether that possibly controls everything we do. Then there is the other side of the equation that believes all parts to science and that if there is no empirical proof of existence, then there must not be existence. My problem is that both sides are at fault because they inevitably contradict themselves through their absolute thinking. Take the believers for instance. No matter what religion, although, for the purpose of this ramble, I am more talking about Christianity followers, the thought is that a greater being is out there that we look to for guidance and, in many cases, justification or retribution. However, many of the Christianity branches talk about not putting a godly figure above the “one true God.” In other words, one should only worship the God we hear about in the bible. Yet, we also see pictures of a figure that is supposed to be “God.” By all branches’ definitions, we have no idea what God looks like. In fact, the books about him say that we, as living humans, cannot comprehend what he looks like. So, the “God” most are worshiping towards is another being altogether, thereby breaking one of the rules. Moreover, if we cannot comprehend what “God” looks like then maybe he does not even “exist” by our human definition. But let’s not just poke holes in the believers. The non-believers are at fault as well. They say that without proof of existence, there is no being. However, these same “scientists” for lack of better words, claim that they can only hypothesize about theories until eventually they are definitively proven false. There is no way to definitively prove false there is no God. Unless we somehow learn to talk to the recently deceased, who could then tell us one way or another, those “scientists” are stuck in a limbo of only being able to hypothesize the non-existence of a greater being. So, what do we believe then. I think an agnostic viewpoint works for both. If we choose to believe that there might be a higher power and that it is possible they exist, then we can worship the being we believe to be there but also not completely stop hypothesizing that “it” may not even be real to begin with. Either way until I have more proof, I will just continue being a good human being and do as the good book says, while also continue to try to find evidence of this being, if only to satisfy my own curiosity. But that is just one man’s opinion. Thanks for listening to me ramble. I appreciate it. See you next time.
