Have you read "For us the living" yet?
I have no problem with faith or a belief in "something else" or "god" or what have you. I just think the line should be drawn right there -- its your beliefs and your views. Don't be so insecure that you need to force them on others. Don't use them as an excuse to be an ass or to do things that are wrong or hurt others.
But I know enough to know that I don't have the answers. There may be a god/gods/superman/super robot or some really smart rat collective. This may all be one gigantic organic computer. I don't know - and so I won't say that all/any beliefs are automatically fairy tales or self-deceptions. (I'll just think it really hard.)
