The Purpose

I do not like the Internet as much as the printed word. The Internet has fostered inattention, a kind of autism, in almost every person who has grown up with it. Ever find your attention wandering when you read a wall of text? That's what I'm talking about. However, being a writer, I must follow my audience, or in this case my potential audience, and consign myself to the swamp of the blogosphere. Of course, it isn't all bad. The Internet gives maximum exposure, perhaps, too much. If only one person reads this blog, that's okay, too, for I've touched one person, however briefly.

This blog is about belief. Actually, it is about providing an example of how beliefs shape and change the world we live in. The term coined for this is worldview. Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is how we see the world. It is the lens we use to interpret reality. One may have a Christian worldview, a Muslim worldview, or an evolutionist worldview. People, more often than not, do not act on something based on the facts given, but on their predispositions, their "bias."
But people must ask, "Which bias is the best bias to be biased by?" Which worldview, or maybe combination of them, is closer to what is really true? Since we can't escape worldview, this is an unavoidable question. Some people seem to think that belief, or faith, should be removed as much as possible from real life or that it has no application to real life. I'm here to show that this is untrue. Belief collides with real life in almost every decision a person makes.

Is my bias the best bias? We shall see when I apply my bias to the rest of the world. I will write about anything that happens, like current events, or I will write about something as nebulous as the nature of time, but through it all, I will apply my bias, and hopefully, find the best bias, the true bias. I could be butchered by internet trolls, but that's all part of the quest.

This purpose might get whittled down to something a little more specific eventually, but for now, the range of subjects is broad.
