   I'm an epistemological solipsist

   I believe the only thing I can be certain of is that my self exists   
      
   this does not mean I am a nihilist in ANY way, I still have my hopes and   
   fears from which I construct morals   
      
   if we go back to Pascal's Wager, if religion is a better social fabric,   
   then let it be, regardless of truth   
      
   most anti responses to my original post on Pascal's Wager were there   
   were many religions and how would you know which to follow   
      
   this is why I have a firm hope for not only religious tolerance, but   
   separation of all states and churches, to favor a religion does not   
   allow for the same degree of mingling and evolution towards one agreed   
   upon religion   
      
   such a religion would respect atheism, but not moral nihilism
