on some level, i am...i choose where to put my faith, it just needs an Overseer. sort of like the militiary, but for a soul.

seriously though, it's really fascinating being able to actually see both sides of an arguement having agreed with one side, and now agreeing with the other. Especially when i can admit there's an irrationality about both sides, it's really forced me to reconsider a lot of what i believe in, value, and what's truly important for my life to flourish, rather than a sugar high, licking the frosting off.

everyone believes in something, even if it's in nothing; but at what point does an inspiring belief become a tyrannical reign...no matter what a person believes in, it's that aspect that seems to doom it?

history is full of people who have successfully used it for their own means, using charisma to get the following they need; why else can religion stir such angering passions other than the power it can wield over us?
