I am most certainly one seeking answers. It isn't the answer itself that attracts me but the pursuit and journey to it. I also enjoyed the metaphor of ladders in life, as I often perceive life ans a journey with paths and intersections. There wont be a single "ism" "ic" or "ain" that describes me because I am still looking for what I believe in.
I don't believe in any sort of loving, all-powerful, and merciful God, but I don't deny the possibility of intelligent design---I want to find out more about it. When I look up into the night and see all those stars I get a sensation that is beyond my capability to describe. It isn't rational and I certainly will not remain objective about it. Some say that that is God's way of telling me He is there, but it felt more like being connected and home, not empowering love.
There are many questions now and probably few answers later on. That doesn't stop me from seeking them out. Along each path awaits new people, ideas and understanding.
[I hope this is what I am supposed to be discussing here]
