I was: 1. Atheist 1961-1994, 2. Gnostic 1994-2002, 3. Christian Lutheran: 2002-2015, 4. Gnostic again: 2015-now ...
My background is: mathematics (including logic), computer science, including artificial intelligence plus some behavioral science. I have some idiosyncracies making me the eternal heretic:
★ pragmatism: a religion is not proved according to its fit to its own dogmata, a religion is proved based on how it make its adherents long-term succesful;
★ knowledgeism: being emotional in religious matters is spiritually immature, knowledge saves, not catharsis, not faith;
★ coherentism: a religion should be logically consistent, masquerading illogics as mysticism is relabeling of falsehoods – honest humans will reject it;
★ factualism: it is never fair nor OK if a religion teaches some pseudoscience, pseudohistory or other contrafactual teaching – I'll do my very best to not be rude, but to me it is deeply immoral.
