: think anything.
What I was saying is that you believe (firmly, it seems) that you don't believe in anything. A belief that you don't believe is still a belief, thus defeting your argument! I understand what you are saying. You should always keep an open mind, all beliefs should be tenative. Your explaination, 'the way it seems' is correct. Most people would use the word 'believe' in place of 'the way it seems'. You choice a diffrent way of explaining it than most. That is fine, but it is going to cause some confussion at times. Your argument seems to me to be a samantical one. The only diffrence is that when others explain the idea, in diffrent words, just about everyone understands.
maybe, I missed something. Please explain it to me if I did.
