The Pillars of My Mind
Reason, logic, and science. This is what I choose over religion and faith. It might not be the most popular choice but it is the choice I choose to live by. Why? Because there is a self evident truth; that observation & experimentation are the keys that lead to success and progress. Just as some people make up their own hallucinations and beliefs. I make my own ideas, and luck, and I won’t exploit that.
Now don’t get me wrong. One paragraph is all I need to express this subject. I am not agnostic or even atheist. If I were to be called any type of religious stereotype it would probably be Christian. I was brought up in Christian fundamentals and I know that God exists, as I know the beauty of numbers do. So much for the subject of “religion.”
There are people through out history that I have true respect for and whom I truly look up to because of there choice of reason over ignorance, these men are my heroes, my inspiration, and my guidance. Some of my more modern heroes include Nikola Tesla, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Warren Buffet. There are also a few historical men that I really look up to and whom are pillars in my fundamental ideology. A few of my pillars include men like, Leonardo DaVinci, Aristotle, Alexander (The Great), Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach. These men fought and defended everything they believed in. Men like these are what every man with a scientific & creative mind should strive to be like, I know I do. Now there are men that I admire because of there humility and non-violent teachings, these men include Jesus, Confucius, and Buddha. I am not ashamed to say that the scientific figures and inventors are my true heroes though.
The rest of this blog will be based on self evident truths like reason, logic, and science and more interesting subjects like politics, technology, and economics. I always look at everything in a scientific and systematic method, that’s just how my mind works and that’s the truth.

Religion is something that I am quite unsure about. I cant just pick one and think that its right and all others are wrong. I am a person who likes solid facts to back up an idea. At this point in my life, I say they are all wrong. Is it bad to think this way?

Michael,
It is not bad to have your doubts about certain things, religion being one of them. I recommend that you meditate on the subject and become well researched in theology. I believe it will ease your mind about how to think, and what to think of religion. Thank you for posting your question.

Ah the many discussions we had about this in the good old days known as high school.
