Agnosticism is to Religion as Bisexuality is to sexual preferrence. Some people can't decide or commit to one side. OR some people are just morons and couldn't see the facts in front of them. I first approached Christianity with open arms (as a child) because I felt left out. Everyone else was doing it, so why wasn't my family? My parents were both raised with a Christian presence, but they never went to church for mass (or any other reason besides a funeral, for that matter), and therefore raised my sister and me to think for our own on terms of faith. The allure of the collective wore thin around the time that I entered adolescence and became able to form a thought for my own. Borderline Agnosticism became flat-out Atheism once I became acquainted with the logic that science was a plausible reason for everything that had happened in history, does happen now, and will happen in the future. Every day, it seems, someone tries to push their faith on me whether it be in school or public, and every day, it seems, I have no desire to do anything besides ignore their claims or to humiliate them for their views. According to the logic of the Bible, everytime two people have sex, it is incest. The race of Man has been depicted as being created in not one way, but at least four. All races and ethnicities all stem from one man. Trying to find sense in that hypocrisy is like trying to find a flea in a dark room. And when you do think you have it, how can you be truly sure? I elect just to not bother or care, and instead, to live a life of reason.
