THIS GUY HAS A POINT (OR 9)



1. "Your beliefs inform your actions. Thus i like to inform my actions based on things that are true. I prefer that you are able to justify your beliefs with something more than personal experience or faith evidence."

2. "I think that's an unrealistic expectation."

1. Why? Why is that an unrealistic expectation? Name one thing besides a religious belief where that would be an unrealistic expectation."


I do find it pretty fascinating that i've met a ton of people who are well educated, fun, smart, logical and a good time ... yet also believe in an organized religion. It simply doesn't follow logic.

If an alien came down from the sky with no exposure to earthly culture, and observed us all ... who would look crazy to them? People kneeling and praying to something invisible 10 times a day? People eating crackers and calling it the flesh of person? People speaking in tongues?

And here's the other thing: If there was one shred of proof that any one of the religions were even 80% true ... do you think there would be so many other religions in existence? Or atheists at all?
