I've always thought alot. *I think I really started getting into philosophy because I was being introduced to a lot of religious concepts that were intersting to me, I also was very interested in politics because my parents were too. *I really started to think alot about religious ideas as I figured they were the most important thing to think about.
Then I came to a question about my religion that noone could answer to my satisfaction, and no matter how much I tried I couldn't find a justification for it. *I think it was the question of if god knows everything and is all powerful, then how can we have free will if he designed us and our surroundings knowing that we would \"choose\" to sin. *That made sin God's fault and pretty much voided all of my religious beliefs.
That launched me on a fury of thought to try to find out what was true, to try to find a philisophical belief structure that could give me the security I had before. *I soon discovered that there were absolutely none, and could be none, and so I am now trapped in a never ending attempt to find explanations for existance, never finding confidence in one.
It isn't as bad as it sounds though. *It is extremely interesting, maybe even entertaining to think about these things, so my position is more of a blessing than a curse.[/b]
