My list of "religious" beliefs

1.) I know that I don't know... and I am happy in my oblivion. Admitting to yourself, that you don't know what "it" is really all about is quite comforting.

2.) I don't believe in the christian idea of God. I believe that a human mind cannot even begin to comprehend God. My puny little mind can't even wrap itself around the idea of infinity. I could describe to you what it is, but to think about it short circuits my brain. How, then, could I even begin to comprehend and understand a being, or group of beings, that are infinity. I think God, or the Gods, are so much bigger then we can even begin to understand. I know, that I don't know, what God really is. Man created God in his own image, not the other way around.

3.) I believe in justice. I believe there is something or things out there that will dispense justice. Who/what these being are, I have no idea. But, I would live in such a state of dispair if I truly believed that there was no justice.

4.) I know that I don't know if there is an afterlife. I flip-flop on this one. A huge sense of "why?" sets in if I think that there is no sort of afterlife. To think that after I die, only my shell remains and the shell only remains for a finite period of time is very scary. To combat said dispair, I begin to think that there must be an afterlife, but the logical part of me says "No way."

5.) I don't believe in the devil, but I certainly am afraid of him.
