The Sagan quote sounds good, just so long as you think that humans are capable of understanding the world as it really is. I think the apparent incompatibilities between faith and "clear thinking" are more a matter of the insufficiency of human reason than an indictment of God. This makes me sad.

I think the Sagan quote is from his book <i>The Demon-Haunted World</i>, which is probably one of the best tributes to science and clear-thinking ever written. You could turn to just about any page of the book and find a quotable passage. Congratulations on everything!

Just wanted to say: good for you! I was just going to post about my unbelief (and my happiness therein) today, so it's a nice coincidence that I found your post. You're not alone.

Still, with your shared interest in these matters and your shared ability to discuss them intelligently and respectfully, I think you might find the blog gives good value! (I'd have sent this privately, because I don't like advertising in other people's comment boxes, but I can't find your email, even though I know I've had it! Hmm.)

A very interesting post chronicling one person&#8217;s journey from faith to faithlessness. I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve ever lost faith, as I don&#8217;t believe I ever had it. Having been raised outside of any religions tradition, I never felt compelled to accept anything based on belief.
