Hmmm, sorry, you are just selling the same faith in an unprovable notion as the local priest. Sure it sounds different than the "Amens" and "Hoseas" of the church or temple, but it is fundamentally the same argument.

If your faith in the Holy Node makes you feel better, good luck to you Sir. I am cursed by being a loyal disciple of the Holy Trinity of Curiosity, Intellectual honesty, and Empiricism.




It is not the same argument as I am selling “Nothing”, i.e. the absence of faith, afterlife, ghosts, etc.

Peddling “Nothing” would be a hard racket if I was to profit from same, though in the same way, it could approach Milton Friedman University of Chicago economic sleight-of-hand.

My “Holy Trinity of Curiosity, Intellectual honesty, and Empiricism” has led me to this conclusion quite some time ago, and perhaps in a few years, you shall see the same.





Heretic !

After there is empirical evidence of the certainty of the Holy Node's existence, intellectual honesty will compel me to accept it and curiosity will encourage me to explore it more fully. Until then it is pure heresy! ...and by the power vested in me by the Holy Trinity you are hereby excommunicated. Repent.
