When it comes to religion* (or a lack thereof), there are two very important ideas that I simply can never accept. The first is that God - a god, any god - exists somewhere. The second idea is that a god does not exist. Both of these concepts are equally absurd to me, and being stuck in the middle - having neither belief nor non-belief - is just so darn awkward and unsettling.
Also, when I say the idea of God existing/not existing is absurd to me, I don't mean it in a scientific/theological way at all. That is a whole different matter. This one is entirely personal.
If I were to pray, would I honestly feel like someone was listening? That is what this is like. Years of Bible study never made me feel any less alone while praying.
