TPB at Unbillable Hours has perhaps the best Easter post that I've ever read.

Though I'm not a lawyer, I can relate to the skepticism that he refers to. Faith is a difficult thing for those of us inclined to question everything. Before falling back into the Christian fold, I spent three years wading in agnosticism. It's easy not to believe in anything, but it's a defensive posture, in many ways. Whether you are cynical about God, politics, love, or humanity in general, it's often easy to derive comfort from that. A feeling of superiority and remaining "above" it. Naivete is certainly not an admirable trait, but neither is hiding behind the cloak of "objectivity." Without the ability to believe, you often lose your directional compas and just drift.

Not long ago, I was casually dating someone who was a self-professed agnostic. That never bothered, though what did come to bother me was the fact that she didn't seem to believe in anything. We got into a discussion on morality and her stance was, more or less, morality is what you make of it. If you value someone's opinion of you, you treat them well. If you don't, then don't sweat it. There is no higher Truth or right and wrong. While on a purely rational and self-interested level, that might make sense. But without a higher sense of purpose and without an ideal to strive to, I'd be left questioning the value of life. Whenever I think of her, I have a hard time figuring out what it was precisely that she lived for. That, to me, is sadder than any idealism and more foolish than even beliefs and convictions I don't share.
