Lately, I've begun to realize that everything I know, think what is right versus wrong, and believe all coincide with Christianity. Never once have I doubted, because I thought I genuinely believed it and presented the ideas to myself. It was what I grew up with. Now I'm here in college, out of my house, not forced to go to church and I'm really wondering and exploring for myself. Descartes is simply helping the process. The first line in his first meditation is a summary of everything that I have been feeling. It's so nice to have some kind of reference or different type of guidance other than what I think. The deeper I delve, it's true that I don't know why I believe in the things I do or even if I did truly believe them, why? What makes the belief mine?
Like Descartes says, I must start from nothing and work my way towards certainty.
