I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
I trust my taste. I trust it completely and I always have done, and I've always thought it isn't that different from everybody else's.
It's not the destination that matters. It's the change of scene.
