Yes I’m aware that all of these contribute to making us who we are, for even the most callused atheist has faith in something*; the most zealous fanatic occasionally takes some comfort in scientific reasoning; the most contented and centered Tao master will eventually strike at where the bee stings and the most militant general will at some time look for the high road to a peaceful solution. What I’m interested in is what you think is the most important of these four aspects of who we are and why.
*Argue all you wish, but one of the definitions of faith is to have trust in ones beliefs. Isn’t atheism a belief? I’ve seen nothing about it that transcends that of one. Aaah- but that’s for future questions.
