Re: #2: Religion

You are right. I can't prove that. It is impossible to prove a negative.

Nonetheless, I believe I am justified in believing it in the absence of
any evidence to the contrary. Occam's razor - simplest solution
is probably right.

For all that, and as much as I dislike talking about "spirituality",
because most people who use that word are really talking about
taking their brains offline, I do believe that there can be ethics
without a God, based on empathy for other thinking, feeling beings.
In fact, I think ethics is one of the most important things
for humans to be involved with. I just don't want to get into
any sort of beliefs that combine fuzzy feelings with fuzzy thinking.
