Science Vs. Religion
When I refer to "YOU" I am refering to followers of the christian religion.
Science may not be perfect but it makes a hell of lot more sense than some omnipotent being that we can't see that made it all. If you are really that gullable I have this swamp land I am getting rid of. Really it's a steal, you can have it cheap.
If you believe in jesus why not Dragons? Why not Elves? Why not Hobbits or Goblins? They are no more far-fetched than "god" or "jesus". Also IF there is a "god" why the fuck would it have to be the christian god? Maybe Buddha is the real thing. Ever think for even a second that your entire "religion" may be WRONG? Ever think that maybe, just maybe, one of the other religions are correct? Maybe Satan (whom I don't believe in either) is the real "god". Maybe Charles Darwin was the real son of "God" and he was revealing his teachings the same why your "jesus" was (just in a different time-frame) through a book and gathering followers. Maybe "god" is the force behind evolution and we are both wrong and are both right all at the same time.
There is FAR more proof that "jesus" did NOT exist than any indications that he did. Have you ever wiped the film from your eyes and actually examined your "religion", I mean REALLY examined it? I was raised a Methodist and I went to church for about 12 years until I started to look up and question WHY these precepts they were telling me are so important, why they make no sense when one uses his or her brain to analyze them in a non-biased manner. After I decided to think for myself I realized just how full of shit any of the belief systems are.
Analytical thought is the thought process we are born with (on an admittedly lower level at birth). Animals use instinct and not blind "faith". They use Nature (another concept I am sure you will decry) and Nature has kept them going for Millions of years (quite a bit longer than your "bible" says life was even here, yet nature is IRREFUTABLE). Sure a culling must take place now and then but when extraneous forces are not at work, Nature takes care of itself and does not depend on some "god" to find it's way.
Do you use Math? If so you must have some belief in science. How about medication? Science again (lets see faith heal a broken limb or stop a Hemopheliac from bleeding to death). By the use of any science you derive something not from a belief system but from FACT, and FACTS have not place within religion.
