I believe in the possiblity of a God, a spiritual world, and creation. I can also agree that science still have no definite answers, but I can't believe that Jesus was the son of God. I can learn from the lessons of the bible or other religions since it's human based, but more of like a fable.
- That's fine, but you're making a philosophical statement.gramme

- I think the Catholics believe in a purgatory, but Christians believe they go to hell?vitamins

Our time is cursed with a boundless faith in rational thought. This belief in the power of reason is okay for computers, sausages, kleenex, day-to-day facts and objects — but in the bigger picture, it isn't any better than the dogma of our ancestors. Only our arrogance makes us think that it is.

my bro brought up a good point—it's easy to make fun of religions when you interview the least intelligent people associated with them. it was entertaining, but didn't make any strong arguments against religion because of the dolts he talked with.
- there are no strong argument that prove religion. Religion is based on non-tangible, unprovable things. So you can't argue it any way you look at it.Boz
