Huin,

I like your post. When someone says to me that their way 'is the only way' they've stone cold lost me. I'm an agnostic but couldn't say with honesty that agnosticism is the only way. Guess that puts me with Jack Kerouac, in his famous words "All I have to offer the world is my own confusion."
