I Believe

This concept of belief is strange. I tend to say that all words are merely said. Even thoughts inside our minds are like quiet words.  When people say. ” I believe there is a God’ what they are really saying is ” I’m saying that I’m saying there is a God.’ They use the word ‘belief’ to distinguish the type of speech they are using. It is as if ‘belief’ is this superglue of the mind.

Atheists also have this belief super glue but they are dead certain that there isn’t a God. And they say it, ‘There isn’t a God.’ Are you sure? Yes I’m sure there isn’t.

Then there’s the agnostic. ‘ I believe I don’t know if there is one or there isn’t.’ He/her seems so sure that they don’t believe one way or other.

I’m not an atheist either or an agnostic. This is because I change my mind (I’m a change-my-minder). I’ve done it on a few occasions and I suspect I’ll do it again.
