Just curious how many other Yahookan's feel this way about life in general.

I tend to live by a quote from a band...

"Be a believer, believe in everything, you'll be right, half the time..." - Jets To Brazil

This seems atrocious to most people at first. But it's not a matter of gullibility or lack of skepticism...it's a matter of accepting that I truly know NOTHING. For all I know, every Religion has an equal chance to be correct. Every theory made has a chance to be correct. We live and breathe in innocence/ignorance all our lives and I can't bring myself to label or follow any specific belief. Every Scripture and Spiritual Texts were passed down from Man, written by Man, and distorted by Man. Every person is their own Universe and we literally create our own Realities...thus, there is no way that anybody else has OUR answers...every single reality is unique.

For example, my beliefs are a combination of Hebrew, Zen, Buddhism, RA, Christianity, Tao, Science, Paganism and other various Spiritual beliefs. I find them all to be masks and covers on the same idea, Love. This is my only true core belief in Life. Everything comes from it and everything goes back to it. Nothing is Greater because it's Everything.

But I accept and deny everything. I embrace and adore the idea that I'll NEVER know. It used to scare and bother me, there was so many choices and paths avaliable! How could someone just choose one Religion and neglect all the others? How could I know which is the right one? What if it wasn't? How was I supposed to have Faith that I was making the right choice?

Then I realized it doesn't matter. They ALL are correct and ALL are incorrect. I love the idea that I don't know and never will know. I don't want to know anymore. I think the only thing we need to KNOW is Love and to me, it's the only Objective Truth in existance (which is still interpreted completely subjectively). If one knows and lives Love, it does not matter how smart that said person is, what Religion they are, how much education one has had, etc.. To know Love is to know Everything (nothing).

So does anyone else here believe in Everything as well?
