This is more of a survey than an actual discussion, but I think it's interesting. Do you have no problem not knowing things? Does not knowing things frighten you? Are you actively skeptical in regards to new things? Have you ever made something up to be correct (in a scientific or philosophical context)? Is it okay to believe things that don't have evidence? Is it okay to believe things that have little evidence, or lots of evidence that suggest what is contrary? Do you think an objective 'good' or 'evil' exists? What is your religion (or irreligion)?

“I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations — one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it — you will regret both.” -Søren Kierkegaard

Do you have no problem not knowing things? I don't really like not knowing things, no. Does not knowing things frighten you? At times, yes. Are you actively skeptical in regards to new things? Not if it's related to science. Have you ever made something up to be correct (in a scientific or philosophical context)? No. Is it okay to believe things that don't have evidence? Not usually. Is it okay to believe things that have little evidence, or lots of evidence that suggest what is contrary? No, that's rather silly. Do you think an objective 'good' or 'evil' exists? No, probably not. What is your religion (or irreligion)? I think the best way to describe it would be agnostic. there what do i win

Do you have no problem not knowing things? NO theres loads of things I dont know Does not knowing things frighten you? NO cos you can never know everything Are you actively skeptical in regards to new things? NO - I like new things Have you ever made something up to be correct (in a scientific or philosophical context)? NO Is it okay to believe things that don't have evidence? YES if its the religious faith and religious people will say you dont need evidence Is it okay to believe things that have little evidence, or lots of evidence that suggest what is contrary? It depends on the person and what they is believing and I does think that religious people believe in the various Gods without the evidence or proof and I respects them for this. Do you think an objective 'good' or 'evil' exists? Yes I does. Good is when you show care and considerations for other people and EVIL is when you doe something that upsets others and its generally selfish and self servicings [like bullies are evil] What is your religion (or irreligion)? [refuses to answer]
