Faith is believing in something reguardless of the facts. The
thing is you can't prove god doesn't exsist. You can prove
fairies don't (Unless you live in San fran![[Image: smile.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif)
) exsist and even
I don't think J-lo will be visiting me anytime soon..but I can
dream can't I?
And before you start quoting how wrong the bible is, it was
written by man, not god. So it could be wrong but I choose
to believe anyway because it is MY choice. Besides, if I
disbelieve in god then all it taught is suspect as well,
including compassion, mercy, kindness, helping your fellow
man? Without my faith then I should just become another
self absorbed, money grubbing drone of society. Science doesn't have these beliefs and a world where science rules
would make Nazi germany look like paradise...
Yeah the good old days of enforced religion.. before mustard gas, nerve agents, bombers, machine guns and the A bomb.
See? I can play the 'evils of fill in the blank' game too.
And the spread of STD in africa? I've never heard of virgins
getting STDs and rubbers are not 100% effective. imagine that, waiting til you are married to havesex. *GASP* The scandal! :/
As for other religions I can't say. I don't understand them
so why should I dump on them though I do object to their
treatment of others and when has the bride selling legally
happened in the USA? not for a long time.
And the lawsuits? I know and I consider them idiots
one and all. I live in the US where we have so
many different views it isn't funny but I'm in the minority
here. I believe that as long as you are not hurting anyone
you have the right to believe what you want. It makes the
country what it is for good or ill.
The 'bottom line' is why should you even care what I
believe? I'm not hurting anyone and I'm not alone in
that. those that offer their beliefs to others have that
right just like you have the right to offer your own beliefs
to them so they can decide. Ripping into anothers belief
because you don't agree with it is a sign of insecurity IMO.
You may see it as not making any sense, I see it as faith.
When you disprove god, let me know and we'll see how
it goes.

what I wanted to say.))

harrassment suit against the flying spaghetti monster for
throwing it's appendages around at the mythical beasts
