[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm with € n the "sure it MIGHT be that way, but I gotta go with what I can see from my perspective" camp. I'm perfectly willing to believe my sense of self is a complete illusion, the result of an elaborate dream by some other being. But even if that's so, I have no way to experience myself as that, all I have is the perception of this life.

As for what that perception is...I suppose I believe in the possibility of fate and destiny, but believe it's so unknowable as to be irrelevent. I simply live my life by making the choices I think are right. Whether those choices are truly free or guided entirely by some other force (natural, pretanatural, supernatural, unnatural) I'll never know. So I tend not to really ponder it too much.

I do believe in God, but so far the only thing I've proven to myself is the existence of that God, not "his" nature. I have some assumptions and working theories, but none of them are solid. Therefore, my personal sense of self and morality that I've built remain valid to me whether God exists or not. While I personally believe that God does have something to do with my life, if I'm wrong about that I would still prefer my life to have some meaning, so I make my own.
