I believe there may be a higher power I'm hesitant to call God.
I don't profess to know what it is, but I don't discount the possibility that the the answer could be in whales, dolphins or some other ancient underwater creature, an alien science project ... I'm open to all possibilities until there's proof otherwise.
That said, I do have much pride and often celebrate in the heritage of my ancestors, but I absolutely do not believe in any organized religion.
I've formed my ideas based on the religion I grew up in, weekly stoned bible studies and church frequenting during high (prep) school, many stoned hours writing personal philosophy and - yeah okay - judgments formed after years and years of watching the hypocrisy of nearly all churchgoing people I've met.
This is my perspective, but my judgment contributes to my personal beliefs, and does not impact my respect for anyone else's.
