[quote=Anonymous]I think of myself as agnostic, not as an aetheist, but here's my take ... I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and I never felt a connection to that faith. I considered myself "spiritual" and believed in a higher power. It was not based on evidence, but a feeling. I guess you call it faith. The older I got, the weaker this faith became. Sometime in my late 20s, I realized that I had lost that faith. I do not know why, and it actually is very sad for me, and lonely to a degree. I have tried to recapture it, to no avail. My beliefs, or lack thereof, are not a choice. If I had a choice, I would have faith again because it did give me a sense of peace. I contemplate returning to temple in kind of a fake it till you make it approach, but, honestly, I doubt that would work. To me, it's not about evidence or rationality, but more of a pure feeling.
