I am here because I have very strong beliefs.
I was raised in what one might describe as a religious conservative home. I felt that this environment was extremely stifling and harmful to me. I feel that my head was filled with lies, and my heart with fear, from a very young age
My parents, and the general community to which they subjected me, wanted to embed in me a trust I simply could not develop. A trust in facts provable or not which they referred to as faith.
It has been a long and arduous journey thus far.
I have arrived at a time in my life in which I cannot trust any so called facts. To me, the nature of reality and existence is clear. That is- it appears to be clear. Two concepts that most humans seem to accept as certain- birth and death- seem to govern human life. While I've been led to assume I was born into this existence, and that I will eventually experience death, I am not convinced.
It appears to me to be the case that the only fact is the existence of the possibility that your reality could represent anything and everything. There are no answers, only questions, when I consider the concepts of cause, meaning, or value in my conscious existence.
My freedom is my right to feel this way.
I believe that my ethics in my behavior are determined by this freedom. I am disgusted by humans and their blind trust in either 'facts' or faith, and the horrible and unethical behaviors this seems to cause them to perpetuate.
