It's not indecisive. It's admiting when you don't know something, instead of just trying to pretend that you know for sure. It's just being honest.

If you think god exitsts becuase some old book says so, than I've got some oceanfront property in Iowa I'd like to sell you. And if you are sure there is no god then you are just as much an idiot. It really is that simple; If you claim to KNOW when there is no way to KNOW, you're just not that smart.
It has nothing to do with how smart you are. I'm not going to challenge you to a game of intellect because frankly I don't care. However, what you're missing my dear friend is a quality known as "faith."

Don't get me wrong on this point here because I'm not trying to "one-up" your life experience, but once you've gone through enough hardship you gain a little "faith."

In closing, try this little experiment. Challenge yourself to identify the order of the universe. How did we (as in all matter in the universe) get here? Where did the matter and energy originate from? OK, maybe you subscribe to the school of thought that we are one of several universes or that our universe is one version of many past regenerated universes. But in the end, it all came from something. It may not be an old man with a white beard, but with "faith" you come to the conclusion that there is some higher-power.
