If I could still vote, I'd vote agnostic. But I'm doubtful about my own agnosticism. I DO think there is something larger out there, because I've experienced it. I just don't think it is "God" in the traditional sense. It might be a super-alien consciousness. Or maybe an entire civilization of unified alien consciousnesses. Or maybe the consciousness of life on earth. Whatever. I've experienced it. It's out there. But I don't know what the hell it is. So I'm agnostic. It could have been my mind on drugs. But it didn't taste like eggs.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
