  Fair enough. Logic is your deity. Not a bad one, either.

    Explain how it’s a deity. I don’t worship it. It doesn’t give me purpose. It’s not a comfort.

      You pushed the inexplicable, the black box, into a system. Deities/the unknown forces come in all kinds of shapes and formats, not only judeochristian / abrahamic. Maybe it’s not a deity, but it’s where the magic we can’t explain happens. We need axioms for anything, dude. I’m not anti-science, I just think all belief and knowledge is necessarily based in things that cannot be proven… and that’s ok.

        We don’t need axioms for empiricism. That’s the entire point. We ask reality questions and infer limited and verifiable knowledge from the results, without ever stating that anything has been proven.

      the other is just peace.

      That sounds a lot like you consider it a comfort.

      Nothing isn’t peace, it’s nothing.
