also, tell me something about yourself i might find interesting.
I'm a sceptic, in the philosophical sense. Or in a philosophical sense, anyway. I was particularly fascinated by the philosophy of Berkley, where he talked about the fact that we can't *know* about stuff that comes to us through our senses really. I also liked the beginning of Decartes meditations, although the way he brings God in sucks.
One of the things I like about religion is that the fact that it's a matter of faith is right out there in front, rather than being hidden and unknown as it is for most issues.
