Since I’m momentarily feeling remarkably empowered about my own life, I’m going to take this chance to officially bow out for a few weeks.
We all knew it was coming—it’s the typical reaction for an overwhelmed newbie like me, I know, and I’m always very determined not to give up, but I really think I had better take a break.
My last week has hardly involved anything except LW and related sites, and we all know that having one’s mind blown is a very strenuous task. I’ve learned a lot, and I will definitely be back after four weeks or so.
I’ve decided I’m not going to let myself be pressured into expressly arguing in favor of religion. I’ve said several times I’m not interested in that, and that I don’t have these supposed strong arguments in favor of religion. If you guys want a good theist, check out William Lane Craig.
When I come back I will, however, explain my own beliefs and why I can’t fully accept the LW way of thinking. Please don’t get misunderstand what I’m saying: I think you guys are right, more so than any group of people I’ve ever met. But for now I’m going to shelve philosophy and take advantage of my situation. In the next four weeks I’m going to a) learn Lambda Calculus and b) study Arabic intensively.

May the Force be with you ’til we meet again.
For the record, I once challenged Craig to a Bloggingheads but he refused.
