This is the dumbest ass shit I have ever heard. You are all saying that "us thinkers are right, be a free thinker and believe what we say" and you "non-thinking religious types are people who cannot think for themselves". Get a clue!
Faith is the presence of action without the presence of reason or proof. You make a change in you life and you follow the word of God because you have faith in that he will save your wretched soul because he loves and forgives.
BB2K, I had respect for you before this:shrug: ! Darwin? **** the monkey's or one celled amoeba or whatever you think came first. Where did that come from? How about this, make me a tree from thin air!
As for fanatics, well all I can say is pick up your bible and read what it says. There is nothing there about kill others or die for you religion. People, much like yourselves, bend and twist the meaning of the bible to suit there own needs.
"Common-sensical" morals? Are you serious? You obviously have no children nor do you remember you childhood. Lieing, cheating, hitting and taunting sound familiar. No? How about that child who is not even old enough to speak yet who has cookies all over his face and hands "did you eat any cookies?" and what is his answer *nods head no innocently*.
No difference if there was no religion? Yeah right and geeks would rule the world then right? World peace? This would be a place just like your friend darwin describes, a place where the strongest survives and you geeks get trampled, again!
If it was'nt for religion there are millions of us that would still be robbing, stealing, swindling, shooting and killing people like you, just to (what we believed to be living) survive.
No matter what you think or how you feel I know the difference that God has made in my life. And following the path is the most difficult task that any person could ever undertake because it requires action against all that we know and desire. I don't care to change your opinions, please don't! But don't drag others down with you!
Every Knee Shall Bow to me, and every tongue shall confess
