You've quite apparently cleared a lot of hurdles and thought some deep thoughts. And I admire your avoidance of just becoming a fundamentalist. I think we're pretty much on the same page, at least with regard to where we've arrived philosophically, although I sense we're in decidedly different age groups.
My question for you, and it's a question for myself as well, is where do you go from here? More specifically, since realizing that I'm an agnostic several years ago, virtually all the searching I've done in the interest of closing in on universal truth has only strengthened my position as an agnostic. It's convinced me that there's no substantive evidence for or against the existence of a supreme being, but has failed to move me perceptibly closer to what it's all about, Alfie.
I'm interested in where you see yourself going from here because I personally have no clue.
