I'm constantly thrown back and forth between my belief in science and my belief in the divine. Are the Gods and Goddesses real or are they simply mind constructs? Are the parts of me just compartmentalized thinking, or are they real, do they have souls?
I don't know, and I cannot give myself the faith to keep to one way or the other.
The best I can offer is that in the end, either way is essentially different ways of trying to state the same thing. That and one of Murphy's Rules of Combat, "If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid."
