I'm an agnostic... I need proof...
And I think that having some higher power is not all that great a thing. I think that all these rules in religion would not be what a GOOD god would command... for example... not being able to eat certain animals in the Muslim and Jewish (and probably more) religions... what kind of NICE guy would set such rules... and fasting... etc etc. Such fanaticism is too me a reason against religion... if i was to believe, then I would maybe agree to some or all of the commandments (or equivalent) as a way of living... but not to go that far... religion is meant to be a good thing to make you feel protected by a higher power or something like that... not so that you spend your life doing penance for every bad thought that you ever had... so that you can be rewarded in this life... My view is the opposite pragmatism...
Why believe and adhere to rules just tso that you will have a nice afterlife that way not exist... better to enjoy yourslef in what you KNOW exists...
Just my two cents... not meaning to offend people... I'm probably wrong or not expressing myself how i want to anyway...
