69. we also believe in the absence of omnipotent sheep
in the sky who control everything. A beautiful holy cabbage of virtue blesses us each spring with miracles is a possible belief. No? Well then you have an anti-cabbage belief system. Or your whole reality is founded with your denial of the great sheep. There now you have an institution of sheepless people.

I'm being silly not to be insulting but to disprove your logic. A belief system is affirmative. It is not defined by what isn't believed because the number of those things is infinite.

Do you define yourself by not believing in Maya gods? Zeus? Do you define yourself as not believing in hinduism? No. You define your belief by what you believe in.

I believe in what is known. As human beings we have learned a lot and we keep learning. Reality as can be determined is beautiful enough without poetic interpretation.
