To me, belief seems to be unavoidable. If you stand for it, and will take it to your grave, you are putting belief into it. It doesn't matter what you believe, at all. Because no matter what, the end is death. The end is the same for everyone, and its high risk to believe in anything, something or nothing, or to not even be sure. It's all risk. I guess my question is, is it possible to get rid of belief, and if so, is it ultimately a desireable option?
If it is a false or misinformed or unsubstantiated belief, such as Christianity, then yes, it is desirable to rid yourself of that oppressive nonsense and give yourself a fair shot at experiencing life for what it actually is--mysterious, awesome, and accessible to rigorous investigation.
