Do you not think there is a higher power/source of creation/force of life then? Or are you saying you don't "believe" in the Christian-formulated (that was their first problem, trying to formulate spirituality) version of "God?" I have always said that atheists are as closed as christians, for they still have a belief. the belief that there is no God. The higher ground expects no beliefs whatsoever, but to form our creations around experiences, knowledge, and especially intuition. Faith is defined as the "hope of things unseen." Now I can understand why people for a long time had faith, but the time has come to SEE those things that were before unseen. What use does faith or belief have once you've seen those things? They instead keep us from seeing past those walls. Every belief forms structures in our minds, and those structures have a tendency to block out anything that would otherwise disprove it. Tool helps smash those walls down so we can help ourselves see what is really there instead of the same decorated walls day in and day out.
