What have you learned concerning your overall views about Religion in general and God, specifically?
i have learned about religion is that everyone who believes has the right to believe and the folks who don't have the right not to
i have learned that groupthink is the curse of the human race and it is common most in religion and politics
as for god - i 've learned that the jewish/christian god is a mean cruel bastard and some of his followers tend to follow the groupthink that the end justifies the means
as for other gods, they seem to be at least honest about the things they do
i'm sorry if this offends you but this is my belief, if you don't like it, well..

Re: two old posts of mine
You can not compare religous faith to existence they are two different things
If we knew the answers to those existential questions, we wouldn't have a forum like this, and you and I would not be debating what the truth is...
faith is not truth, you can have faith in things that don't exist,children have faith that santa clause will bring them something, something bad or something good - or you can have faith in things that defy the universe and the reality of the majority of people - such as creationism
But that is faith, and it is not blind..
do you even know what faith is? it doesn't seem like you do, try using the definition that everyone else uses
faith is in things unseen, god remains unseen
