I am an agnostic. I hold reason the greatest asset of the human mind, and with it, such ultimate terms like all-powerfulness we like to attribute to god are shown to be fallacies.

I believe faith to be a man-made contraption created so as shake off the overwhelming fear that there's no absolute purpose for humanity, and that it's actually up to said humanity to make a purpose for itself. I also believe faith to be some sort of sanctuary from the fear of death. I fear death as well, but do not claim to understand either the why, or how.

I am also an ethical relativist, and as such, I believe the notion of a God dictating what is good and true for all, a base fairytale for people that choose to be simple themselves.

If some sort of higher intelligence exists, it is neither all-powerful, nor a thing of universal goodness, and definately not here to make you feel better.
