Zach,
Having given it a great deal of thought, I don't think you can believe in something you don't believe in.....either you believe it or you don't and are playing lip service to it.

I've personally wished, in a weird sort of way, that I was able to believe that deeply in something unproven. But, alas, I cannot. I can't even pretend to very well.

I am not responsible for what other people think. I am responsible only for what I myself think, and I know what that is. No idea I've ever come up with has ever struck me as a divine revelation. Nothing I have ever observed leads me to think there is a God watching over me.

-Isaac Asimov

(This one fits me perfectly)

Hi Accer- I'm a believer in a "Great Spirit" , not an entity. For me, science and spirit hold no contradictions. I do have some problems with religion, though. God or no God, this world sure is big and beautiful, and I believe what we think, say, do and leave behind matters. And I don't think we have free will accidentally. I wonder where brilliant people like you get their brilliance, and I don't mean IQ! Smile
