Pete's Log: a confession
Entry #1176, (Spirituality)(posted when I was 23 years old.)
but first, a message from grammar nazi Pete: It's spelled "definitely" ... there's no 'a' in the damn word.
I think the time has come to make a confession to the readers of my log. My fall from grace seems now to be complete. I have decided to adopt a fully atheist point of view from which to base my entire philosophical and moral belief system. This is not to say that I believe for certain that there is no greater being. I have simply chosen to assume, for the sake of any moral decisions I make, that there is no such greater being. As far as my actual religious view goes, I'm going to call myself agnostic, not atheist.
More details on reasons for this decision as well as the results of it will be added at a later date. I made this decision some time ago, but have been putting off writing about it. I'm sorry I'm renouncing your religion Mom & Dad. I still value the moral beliefs you taught me, I just no longer accept the religious basis for them.
