We can speculate that you were born and never introduced to any other beliefs and developed yours independently of others believes (and you just happened to develop- independently of any other belief systems, an atheistic belief system.) Now your beliefs truly are independent of other religions and definitely not defined by Christianity or any other system but, they are still beliefs and you, albeit on your own, rationalized them into a system which explains why you don't' believe in a God/s |
de budding,
Does that fact the these belief systems are group activities, while on a independent level a man's belief and disbeliefs are of his own creation and a property of his consciousness make any sense to you? Sorry, I just cannot take your premise seriously.
