BELIEF

I think some things are almost certain to be true, some things might be true or false, and some things are almost certain to be false but I do not like to say I "believe" in anything.  I have decided that the word "belief" has become too ambiguous a word for me.  When used in a religious context it seems to imply accepting the absolute truth of something based on the acceptance of an authority which cannot be questioned.  Everything should be questioned, whether it be a book, an organization, or a person.   If we never questioned things, we would never learn new things.  Of course, if you question something it means you doubt its truth and I do not know of any religion that allows that.  Since I demand the right to doubt anything, it is impossible for me to have any "beliefs" and therefore I shun religions.
