I refuse to be called an atheist. That, I know I am not. I'd rather call myself a notheist. I believe, I truly believe there is a Superior Being (the rebel in me refuses to call it God), that our mind is incapable of wrapping around the concept of its existence. It's the one thing in the universe that is undefinable, unmeasurable, invisible... and it definitelly doesn't care to be worshipped and prioritized before the ones that are dearest to you in this world, to have temples built or blood shed in its name.
And then there is fear... the best motivator known to man, one that for many people turns the idea of God into an external conscience to keep the morals in check.
My beliefs set no boudaries, deny no experiences, suppress no desires, and offer no salvation. I don't look up to this Superior Being as an insurance policy in case I lose a battle against the nature.
I am not afraid to doubt. The doubt does not weigh me down, it liberates me.
I don't have that need to belong or the longing for the realization of the ultimate meaning. Other people's opinions are often intriguing but absolutely of no essential consequence to my own.
So what if most people believe in this Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Brahman, Jupiter or Zeus? Truth is not democratic!

I am a thinker with an unquenchable thirst for life. I am a minimalist in the material world. I am naïve and don't want to change. Chocolate makes me happy. My mind and possessions are in a total state of entropy. All you get is random - but it's mine. I think that stealing someone's thoughts it like stealing their property. Think for yourself! Question your reality! I have very low tolerance for company of people with severe case of ignorancitis. Some are just too far gone.
