That sounds like a whole other discussion

Maybe that's why I have yet to subscribe to any set of beliefs. I don't consider myself an atheist, but maybe an agnostic in the root sense of the word (as in simply not knowing - I won't go so far as to affirm that God etc. is entirely unknowable). I'm pretty skeptical in general and need a good deal of logic and proof in order to be convinced of something, so if religious view cannot be attained through those means, I suppose that means that I will never truly be religious.
