Ann: I appreciate your concern, but really, I'm fine. I'm happy that you have a faith and I hope that it sustains you. I simply have no need of it. I don't think that you understand that I gain strength from my agnosticism. I am made strong and secure by the clear distinction that I make between that which I know and that which I do not know. I never have even a moment's doubt because if I have any reason to doubt a belief, I don't hold that belief. As an example: Q. Is there life on other planets? A. I don't know. There, see how easy that was? I'm content to say "I don't know," and I actually gain strength from doing so, because I know that I don't know. I have no doubts because I have no beliefs. I simply have that which I know, and that which I do not. But thanks anyway, -BLT
