This: I am

You know I always tell myself I do not like being sucked in theological discussions or arguements. However, for some odd reason I cannot go a week without debating the existence of a creator. I have friends who straight up do not believe in the existence of one, they are on the fence about it, or they do believe in a creator.

There is this running joke that I change my religious beliefs as Lady Gaga changes outfits in a given hour. I go from Taoism, Agnosticism, Judaism, Catholicism, and Atheism in that same period of time. However, when I act out certain belief I tend to do it out of complete satire. When it all boils down I am a spiritual individual and I believe in a creator.

Everytime I say I believe in G-d around people who are of the Atheist or Nontheist persuasion tell me I am in some sort of wrong. I think the problem comes from the organize religions themselves. Let me lay it down for everyone: I do not follow G-d in the Biblical sense, I believe in a G-d in a more spiritual, and cosmic sense.

I have approach the existence of a creator in a logical and rational way that makes sense to me. Even before watching the episode of "Through the Wormwhole," I have pondered the topics they explored within that episode. The existence of a creator within the mind, the cosmos, being a mathematician, and a programmer.

As I said before it makes the most sense to me, and I feel that should be respected. I should not have to go through a week defending that belief. The irony of my way of thinking basically gets me ostracized by both Christians and Atheist. However, I am who what I am; I am Andrew Christopher Dieppa.

PS I am also known for keeping a very open mind to incorporate to my day to day life such as the Eastern Philosophies/Religions.
