Well... indeed i think that we cant know anything accurately, and that reason leads to the conclusion that reason is indeed a very limited thing.

Thats how i reconcile it with my beliefs. I know that reason cant be used to choose a set of beliefs, so i believe in what i believe and not try to find reasons for it. Cause there are none.

Thinking and believing are two different inhabitants of my mind... and i try to keep them separated, to avoid that they start to fight each other... even if each one has its own sphere of action, they sometimes want to meddle in the other ones affairs... usually with not-so-good results...

Anyway... I usually say im half-Christian. I mean that my beliefs are Christian-based. Of course all this "metaphysical" knowledge i gathered changed many of the views i have about the nature of God, afterlife, etc... but i would say that my views are only a "modernization" of the traditional Christianism... hardly there is something i believe that be obviously opposite to Christianism (at least how i understand it.)

I woudnt say that the answers are wrong... only that their validity is dependent on the specific view point they are based upon...
But dont be worried if you cant understand my views... sometimes not even i can...
