The inherent flaw in all systems of belief is the self imposed ignorance of viewing an issue with one lense. Secondary to this is combining multiple views to assess a situation at hand however one still has to recognize that you have to pick and choose a few lenses from a morass. This still inhibits you to a set criteria. And its impossible to consider every viewpoint because of sensory overload, we just can't handle that. Take for instance a practitioner of gynecology can perform open heart surgey as much as a heart surgeon can decipher what that growth is (stop sleeping around). And its thouroughly impossible to be a practitioner of both because you would have to keep up with both sciences. The human body may stay the same but mutations and sickness don't. I also cannot bring myself to become a religious person for the same reason. I believe the thought that the universe rests on the shell of a giant turtle as much as I do that the son of god sacreficed himself for my "sins" (really sorry about eating that horse). I cannot however combine both views due to their contrasting nature. Though I truthfully find it semi-difficult to believe that yes indeed the world is a coincedence. So in turn I'm fucked. I could cop out and just become a deist if I so chose and then subscribe to a nicely formed school of thought to make all this easier onmyself. That wouldn't enrich me as a person though. So I'm becoming an apatheologist. I frankly don't care if the turtle killed himself so I could rest on the universe. Nor do I care about the whole of existence in a philosophical kind of way, I mean I could never comprehend everything and in trying would probably go mad and cry. So I'm going to just exaine things as I see fit and beleive in religion when I feel necessary. I use religion loosely. Because the world is separated into two kinds of people those who Believe and those who go mad trying not to, because an integral part of being human is trying to figure out what the fuck to do and believe (in a general sense, morals etc). So in turn I don't need to figure it out. I don't care. What I need is something to get me through without being a crutch and without hindering my own thoughts. Hence my philosophy for the damned. At this point I've lost myself a bit. I'm just starting and I need to clear some things up a bit before I can have a club house. Sorry about the dimestore philosophy BS but I had some thoughts I needed to get out. If you actually read to this point thanks and please add your two cents to the discussion, maybe you have an insight I don't.
