Bring bolt cutters

If one more person suggests to God Seeker Guy that he’s lost and needs help to find his way, he may well become a staunch atheist just to keep them at arms length.

He’s not lost—thank you very much—he’s journeying down a very fruitful and fulfilling path in his search for many things, including faith.

Why is embracing a religion blindly more valid than committing to none but being open to all? GSG has learned an enormous amount of valuable and interesting concepts from all of the worlds religions and from the people willing to share their faiths in an intelligent way. He has also been brow beaten my many religious fanatics who feel it’s there duty to save him from himself. 

“Here’s the irony of all of it all, GSG is actually quite passionate about faith and religious conviction.”

Mark Twain is reputed to have said “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” This applies to the vast majority of religious pundits GSG has spoken to. Very few have shown any interest in broad discussions of faith or religion, most simply choose to lecture at great length attempting to beat their visitors into submission which GSG sees as a confirmation of Twain’s invaluable quote.

Here’s the irony of all of it all, GSG is actually quite passionate about faith and religious conviction. Not just as a critic, any fool can be a decrier, but as a seeker, as a man who wants to know if there is a single truth, many truths or no truth at all.

Assuming GSG makes it to the pearly gates one day, he assumes those in charge will appreciate his efforts to understand the complexity of faith, but as a precaution he plans to carry bolt cutters.
