You mean the irresponsibility that tends to come with faith?
My favorite quote from some fat comedian who's name I can't remember: "I don't care if it rains or freezes as long as I got my plastic Jesus." And how like a child you wish you could fly but as an adult you know you can't. Rodin's thinker suffering with unlimited imagination but limited ability or Don Quixote dreaming the imposible dream only time and time again falling on his ass or me as a child, holding a mirror at my waist facing up, and staring down at the mirror at the sky and pretending I'm walking on clouds. If only we could live in our dreams.

American Dream

Oh show me the land of the free,
Where one can roam endlessly,
Where topless sky meets bottomless sea
and dreams wash ashore on reality.
Oh show me that promised land.

Oh show me the land of the brave,
where nobody fears the grave,
where no one is anyone's slave
and no soul needs to be saved.
Just show me where to stand.

One of my oldest poems.

I choose to live back and forth between faith and logic.
It's a cop out I know but it actually works quite well in giving me peace of mind. I just hope you're happier with life than you sound sometimes.

I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.-Socrates
