Once again, this requires the belief in something like temptation and the assumption that giving in is bad. Every single other creature on the face of this f'ing planet does what it wants to, and must, do. We are the only ones who seem to question it. I think that's a terrible way to live your life, questioning whether something is good or bad.
I believe in something greater than myself: order. Nature is beautiful in its order and balance and magnitude. The universe is an awe-inspiring place, controlled by laws of physics that are greater than us and which we will be discovering for the rest of our existence, knowledge that will only support the existence of the order instead of refute it. This dogma does not exclude anyone or require belief in the intangible or unreasonable. It makes me happy to know that all things are part of the same, with no exceptions, no guilt. It requires no faith, just reason, to believe what I do.
