I was enlightened, believers were dumb. Science ruled supreme, physicalism was my creed and #RichardDawkins (PBUH) was my prophet.\n\nHowever, by exploring my political and thus ethical convictions, I came to the conclusion that materialism is a delusion, a self-contradicting negation of the human experience.\n\nI've considered myself an #agnostic for a while, but recently I've started to feel like this label doesn't describe me as well as it should. By no means am I a theist, at least not in the regular sense of the word. I do not believe in the literal existence of a #god, and I maintain a position that what we think about in regards to cosmology and theology is very much a reflection of our own experience. However, I've crossed a line after which I cannot deny that experience as a fundamental part of the human life.\n\nAnyone can relate?\n\n#religion #philosophy #cosmology #life #existentialism #atheism #agnosticism #atheist"}
