I don't 'believe in' knowledge. Knowledge is knowledge. There's no believing or not believing. It just is. It's not something that can be 'given up'. It's the result of inquiry as best as we can engage in it. A person can reject inquiry and base their life of other things like authority, or magic, or dreams, or millions of little bits of nonsense our species has generated over the centuries. Knowledge assumes that these oddities can be overcome with discipline, focus, application of the correct tools, testing of hypotheses, use of logic, discussion of results with like minded people etc. Once you go down the road of inquiry and knowledge, belief is a thing of the past.
A person's soul is lost the minute they are willing to substitute 'belief' for knowledge. |

I decided a life without soul wasn't worth it a long time ago. That's when I gave up belief and decided to seek knowledge.

I gave as direct an answer as I can possibly give. You phrased the question as if it could be given a simple yes or no answer, like 'Is my wife in the next room,' but in fact the question is almost incomprehensible. Are you saying "Is there an invisible guy hanging around in the ether, carrying the title of a feudal ruler and being about 2012 years old?" "Not as far as I know' is the best answer I can give to that kind of question. |
