Dear Gilbert, Kitem re Gilbert irmao, makha "cafeteria Agnostic" muta? :) Actually, I'm a full-blown buffet Agnostic. Aren't you? Do you follow the Bible to the tee? If so, then you must find comfort in believing that God killed all the new-born of Egypt. Or that this omnipresent, omnipotent God of ours is susceptible to making mistakes which is why he decided to end the world with a flood except for Noah. Just one human being on the entire planet turned out according to plan. Doesn't exactly inspire faith in his creation does it?
No, Gilbert we are all cafeteria people. Life is so full of dichotomies, polarities, ironies and parodies that to be rigid would not serve the evolution of human thinking. So yes, I have plenty of grey in my thinking, plenty of room to make amendments when new information comes to light, plenty of nuances to colour my palate of values and principles with exceptions and personal beliefs, that don't infringe on public rights (such as abortion). As Bishop Tutu once said, there is nothing black and white in life. You have to believe by the skin of your teeth that what you're doing is right and then do it. Have a wonderful 4th of July, Gilbert. The weather here is wonderful, although a tad hot.
