One of the larger characteristics a person holds is their view on the existence of God.

Obviously this can range across a slew of models from the Judeo-Christian, a more natural mother-earth sense, none or something completely different. All in all I see this as a way of viewing the hows and whys of life, meaning and the universe as a whole.

Now I want to first let everybody know that I have and still do find the existence of God to be a fascinating question and have (and still do) think about it. It's one of my favorite taboo topics to bring up in discussions with people, trying to understand their stand point (because there really isn't a right or wrong here.)

However, in the end (to me) I do find it to be an irrelevant question. Honestly trying to live by my morals of what I feel is (subjectively) right, the end effects are identical. Whether it's due to a mandate mandated from some higher being or if it's just what I find on my own to be the best course of action, the answer is identical.

If a person tries to be and do good (obviously subjectively) then what drove them there, while interesting, didn't change anything whether seen as a communication from a higher entity or just from themselves.

The best label I have for my own views fall under agnosticism. Just because I say I don't know doesn't mean I don't search and study. I find it important to know what I don't know. Besides, often once an answer is absolutely ingrained for most people, the search stops. I want to keep the search going for those things I find interesting.

What I choose to do and how I determine what's subjectively right is the same whether a God exists or not.
