I myself am agnostic at this time but as a free thinking person of will I reserve the right to change my mind.
So, just in case the big guy is watching let me apologize in advance. I wouldn't want to make you mad ! That's not a good idea. See the following statistical chart.

That being said, I cannot subscribe to any of the established religious cults that I know of at this time because I can't set aside my logic to do so and adopt simple faith in its place. I figure I will just live my life the best way I know and then pray my ass off on my deathbed if I'm so inclined at the time.
What I do feel I'm missing out on is the satisfaction and peace of mind devout believers appear to have in their faith. I'm not going to be so arrogant as to believe I know so well whats best for everyone else that I will ride a bicycle door to door for years and force people to adopt my beliefs, nor do I think that if indeed there is an all-holy entity that he would abandon me if I do not wear a funny popes hat and molest little boys.
I am simply person enough to admit that when it comes to religion, I don't know!.
I will however admit to being a spiritual person. I believe I, and everyone else on this planet, was born with the basic understanding of right and wrong. I believe that our consciences are ever at guard to let us know if we are doing the right things or not. I didn't need my ass spanked to know it was wrong to hit my sister, her crying made me feel bad and that was the good/bad thermometer. By the same token I didn't need praise when I helped someone, I felt good about my actions and that was my moral thermometer showing me right from wrong.
So for now, and for the greater part of my life so far my conscience has been my religion. That is what I call my spirituality.
Anyone reading this is welcome to comment and I am always happy to discuss differing veins of thought.
Peace

God? Well I'm not sure either, but I'm pretty sure I won't find God hanging around Rod Parsley or any of those other crackpots.
