Actually, my description above probably comes closer to the truth of how I identify than anything else I might be able to come up with.
I agree. A Christian asked me the other day, did I know what I believed anymore? I told her, No, not really. But I know what I *don't* believe in. And I think that's just as valid a form of identity as having "beliefs," I guess. Same thing with identity...
