I'm not so sure i'm such an atheist anymore. I've never really enjoyed taking part in the 'zomg religion sucks' conversations that often go on here. I don't talk a lot about my own beliefs either, since I know they are subject to change. This is what I'm thinking today:
As far as I or anyone else knows, there is no God. But that doesn't mean there couldn't be. As I said in anoher thread, it is possible that there is a way of discovering or contacting a higher power that is on a scientific level humanity hasn't reached yet (there is such a thing as metaphysical *science*).
I've never had a problem with people who believe in God. I sometimes feel, though, that fundamentalists and religious zealots (or anti-religous zealots) and people who follow their religious writings (or lack of) to a tee and refuse to entertain the notion that what they think may be wrong are the kind of people who are preventing us from reaching that higher level to maybe finding out what really exists.
I just think that whatever is actually going on in life and in death is potentially more amazing than anything we currenly know or believe to be true.
