I used to believe. Sometimes I almost felt certitude about it, other times I had doubts. The older I got the more I leaned agnostic. Then it was atheist for awhile. Now I am back to agnostic and feel very comfortable there. If forced off of that choice I would say atheist, because the evidence against is stronger than the evidence for to my way of looking at it. But, there is so much we do not understand about life and our universe that saying, "Shucks, I don't know" seems the most honest response. I don't feel a compulsion to believe or disbelieve, and feel comfortable saying I do not know if there is a God or gods, and while the idea and the mythologies are fascinating I find it rather unlikely. But I just don't know.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
