Sorry, but I must address this
Advertisements [?]
It is getting harder and harder on here to talk about religion or faith or beliefs without many people calling it a myth, a falsehood, or idiocy. I have to say I find this rather offensive. I, as a Christian, can address beliefs that do not coincide with my own without saying that they are wrong or stupid. It is fine to post your opinion as to whether you agree or not or what your stance is, but why the attacks? I understand that voicing an Atheist, or even Agnostic opinion in todays world is generally met with a lot of flak, and I swear to you now that I would gladly fight and die in order to preserve your right to view life in whatever philosophical, religious, or any other way you choose, and I will NEVER attack YOUR beliefs by saying that they are nonsense, because to be quite honest NONE OF US TRULY KNOW! So how can any of us pass judgement onto another? It is true that more science backs up non-religious beliefs, but that is why it is called FAITH, because some things even science cannot fully explain, as much of a science man I am. Sure lots of crazy crap did happen or didnt happen, not of that really matters, what matters is 1. whether you believe it, and 2. what you do with it, no matter what you thoughts, ideas, philosophies, and/or beliefs.

I will end with stating that I am not close minded, I love to learn about new religions, philosophies, and theories, which to me are all basically the same thing, and if I happen to find one particularly attractive, I'll incorporate it into my own. (i.e. I believe in Creation AND Evolution.

So please, before you make a remark that someone may find offensive (other than freepers, because I think we can all agree on one thing), just think about how you would feel if someone made the same remark to you.
