This turned into a bit of a rant.

I need to understand and comprehend everything, because is not a sufficient answer for me. I always hated math because nothing was ever explained. It was always two plus nine equals eleven because it does, it always has. I can not accept such an answer. Through observation I have come to the conclusion that the majority of the human race shares this need of comprehension. The difference between what I see and what I need is that the majority of people can handle not understanding everything and also they are satisfied with extremely sketchy explanations. I may be overstepping my knowledge here, but the unknown in general seems to terrify people, I know it keeps me up a lot. To avoid this unknown we formulate questions aimed to explain it and then search for the answers, usually through trial and error. Sometimes it takes to long, sometimes the answers are vague, and sometimes no answers can be found. What bothers me most, is surprisingly not the lack of answers, although that bothers the shit out of me, but its the willingness of people to blindly accept the vague answers they are supplied. These vague answers are basically the human race making up elaborate stories that have no truth, no evidence, no fact. Its like putting wallpaper over a hole in the wall it fixes nothing. The world was flat not because it was observed but because it was the simplest explanation. No answer backed by any sort of evidence exists, for why people are alive. Instead the human race bases their faith on a ridiculous story more commonly known as religion. I think I might believe in religion if there were not so many different stories that started in so many different areas. The variations of religions led me to believe they are all made up. People isolated from each other all needed an answer to this question but instead of coming to the same conclusion, which would point to some sort of evidence or truth, they came up with individual stories, that are very different at times. The majority of people consider the religion of the ancient Egyptians or early Native Americans as storytelling, it is naive to believe that Christianity or Judaism is anything more.
