I've never been what anyone would call a Christian, even if my grandfather took both me and my sister to our local church every Sunday. If anything, I consider religious texts to be entertaining fiction in the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien or Colleen McCullough. So I honestly have never understood the extreme reactions of adherants to any given religious movement.
I don't like falling back on the concept of atheism, either. There may be stated philosophies as to what atheists consider 'true'. However, after listening to any individual atheist long enough, I get the feeling that I'm entertaining yet another dogmatic screed cloaked in new age terminology.
There's no real point to this journal entry. Other than to say that being agnostic, being unsure of what is or is not, can actually be more comfortable in the long term. Makes it that much easier to just...look up at the sky and wonder. Or wander. Or Ponder.
