Anyhow, I often find myself in a strange place between Solipsism, agnostisism and a flat out mentality of "fuck it all". So let's name that train of thought The Ways of The Wanker, and take it from there.
I believe that I as a individual is the sole reason for being, and the only observer that can be taken for granted, yet I think that we might have a nature to "draw" energy from. But not in the hispy Wiccan way, but in the way that makes you able to do more, feel more empowered and such just through experiences. And then I turn around and realize that there are people that believe in demons and angels out there; then I loose hope and just regress into the fuck-it-all-mode.
Believe in The Ways of The Wanker, embrace The Ways of The Wanker, be The Ways of The Wanker*. Hey, if Hubbard can dream up a religion**, why can't I? You don't have to be a washed up sci-fi writer to do it - right?
*might consider renaming it though
** evolved from clams?! Seriously, that guy was a big comedian and Tom Cruise a moron
Very interesting beliefs Habbakuk.

As you put it, they take little things from a lot of other philosophies.
