ps: atheist i think? maybe for now you can settle with calling yourself agnostic until you understand what you do and do not believe. just a suggestion.
I know exactly what I believe. I just don't know how others would catagorize me. I'm definitely not an agnostic, which I take to mean someone who either isn't sure if God exists or someone who believes knowing whether or not God exists is impossible. I'm a monist, like Spinoza, like Einstein. Perhaps, I'm even a little different than they are since Spinoza is a little too religious in his approach, if not illogical, and I'm not sure Einstein has taken the most verifiable phenomenon in the universe into account: consciousness.
Consciousness is real and it has to be in the equations to make them true. If you get my meaning.

Maybe it's not, but I love the part where he's talking to the Latin guy who claims to be Jesus Christ, and he cuts in little bits of Al Pacino in "Scarface."
That movie really did it for me.
Thanks for the welcome.
