<<I admire Mormons as they try to live their Faith in their daily lives.>>

The other side of that coin is that it also means blind conformity. I don't think that is the correct path. We just got out of the jungle and are pretty new to this civilization stuff.

We are dealing with an infinite universe, so I prefer starting from the point that I know nothing and the more I learn the less I know. I use to suspect life is an illusion, but now I am sure of it.

So how does one live their life under those assumptions? Two or three axioms taken on faith is all I use.

Be kind. Try to contribute to society, be one of the "good guys" and believe nothing.

Which frees me up for a pretty hedonistic life; with a clear conscience.
