Then you're not sure that your purpose in life derives from those beliefs or would vanish in their absence......but let's take a moment to point out the absudity of what you chose to include in parenthesis.

I still don't know if you know what my actual beliefs are.

Just from hearing your own rationalizations I already know that your beliefs are false as communicated..but that;s immaterial.  I'm just trying to help you more accurately describe them. Either it would be a Big Deal™ if you lost your faith or it wouldn;t..but make up your mind and stick to whichever version of that story you prefer.

I'm agnostic.

Doesn;t have anything to do with gods or..so far as I can tell, anything we're discussing..but sure.

It does though. If I choose to believe something that may or may not be true and it gives me happiness in this short life, that is a trade I am willing to make.

That's pretty much how I stumble my way through this turgid existence, yup.   Rolleyes

I'll take this as sarcasm. Otherwise you would have to make the claim that you have never been wrong before.

Not a problem..but you're awfully preoccupied with others when you try to communicate your own beliefs.

Not sure why you say this. Your the one who is involved with my beliefs, not the other way around.
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change, 
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
