I’m certainly not going to join organised religion any time soon, seeing as I think I’m much better off without them. However, it’s proving pretty difficult to argue myself out of a general, self-formed religion because of the hangups I have about our logic only applying to our world. I mean, if there is a supreme being for whom “P and ¬P”...
Fortunately, any beings that use logic that is above and beyond my own, and cares about my well-being, will probably want me to just try my best with my own logic. It’s not a belief that gets in the way of life much, so I don’t think about it all the time, but it would be interesting to sit down and just poke all of that bit of my thoughts with a rationalist stick at some point.
Thanks for the welcome!
