I base the philosophy I follow on two things, psychology and probable possibilities. I have found that many questions people can’t answer are actually answered by looking at those two things.
For example, many people question the possibility of life after death. Well, it is true that our neurological system is nothing more than a conduit for electrical and chemical signatures. Is it then not possible that even in death, ones consciousness could remain? After all, you do not need a solid corporeal form in order to have electrical and chemical reactions.
I also very much believe in what Faceman stated, I know that I do not know. By admitting this, it makes it easier to accept that which I cannot understand. When you look at the age of the human race, we are fairly new when compared to the age of the universe, so why should we expect to understand everything there is to know?
I also highly doubt the existence of a divine creator. I say doubt though because I do not know. I am however allowed to speculate. The reasoning behind my doubt actually solely rests on human nature. Humans, as conscious beings, always seem to think we need answers for everything. We are innately control freaks. This leads us to frustration when we find things outside of our control.
In response to our lack of control, I believe people have conjured up a divine entity to squarely put the control onto another’s shoulders. This is much the same as has been repeated through history. One only needs to look at the Greek gods for a prime example. In the Greek’s polytheistic society, they had a god to explain everything that they could not control. I have no reason to believe that the modern religions of today are no different.
There is a lot more to this philosophy, but I think the basic principles have been covered. Also, by understanding my philosophy on life, those who had a chance to read my old signature will get a good look into why I stand by the statement it makes.
