I know that you are against God. But, personally, what are you FOR?

I'm not sure how you can parse "against" out of a failure to believe. I do not accept the reality of gods. I'm not opposed to them, I consider them fiction.
I am for a rational, realistic and natural understanding of our world and our lives. I believe that each of us perceives reality slightly differently, based on our unique life experiences. Thus, I don't accept absolute answers to life's questions. I perceive life as an adventure of discovery, a relatively short period of time in which to explore our current reality.
Along with some theists, I also support trying to get society to be more tolerant of what I call, for want of a better term, spirituality. Love, peace, charity, compassion, empathy, are all dismissed by many as weaknesses or attitudes to be exploited. That is the purpose of my ministry, as an ordained minister. Not all ministries need to be religious in nature.
