Apologies for coming across as rude in earlier in the thread. It's absolutely no excuse, and I recognize that, but my mental health was a bit iffy at the time. Doing much better now.
Anyway, back on topic.
As an ignostic, as opposed to an agnostic or gnostic, I personally start by asking what 'God' or 'gods'—as terms rather than entities—are supposed to be referring to. Not everybody starts that way. Some folks, or even most folks, start with epistemology. I reckon. At least.
I'm actually really quite odd because start with metaphysics and phenomenology and end in epistemology. So my question with regard to that is: is there anything wrong with my approaching philosophy that way? Question is to anybody in the thread who wishes to answer.
