Inquiring minds (as yet, unnamed…) want to know.  But, as I note in the last post, I dislike labels.  It’s too easy to fall into the convenience trap…convenient for me to avoid the hard work of self-discovery, and convenient for others to pigeonhole me, to categorize me to their own satisfaction.

People love to fall back on labels, on dictionary definitions and etymologies…and, too often but far less evident, on their own projections of what they want a label to mean.  Words and language, like your own process of self-discovery, evolve.  Words and their meaning have done so since humankind’s first utterance.  And on today’s web, there are a dozen (if not a hundred) experts ready to tell you what a word (or a label) means.

But, for the sake of this discussion (and for inquiring minds…), if you define an atheist as someone who somehow personifies that which we cannot know, then I guess maybe I am one, because I don’t.  But I reserve the right to change my mind…
