For me it's more about action, I could care less about what I believe. I'm only interested in what actions I am led to commit. I mean sure, I may justify an action by explaining my beliefs, but they seem easily discarded after the action was performed. I don't see much use in shaping my view of reality around my beliefs. I don't see much use in shaping reality at all, honestly. It sort of happens whether or not I think anything in particular about it. Why worry about it unless there's a decision to be made? Why associate yourself with it?
