Seen in day ago. Very thought provoking but his blatant lack on knowledge of the bible makes his opinion very one sided. You need to have a clear picture of both sides of the argument to offer an concise and balanced view point. Im just left with the feeling he'd rather be home getting noshed off by his new fancy.

Some very good points, well made.

I've been to church many times, not just for the main 3!

And although I understand faith, I think (as is being prove worldwide), religion does more damage than good!

Have no problem with any faith.......I just choose to believe in my family and friends first!

Saying that, if you can't find one you like....then make it up ala Scientology!

I disagree, but only because I hate censorship and restrictions on personal freedom even more than I hate religion.

How it can be allowed to have an influence on our legislation and society these days though is beyond me...

Religion was invented to control the masses by those who wanted to be in charge. Nothing has changed.

Yup, you'd hope the masses would be functioning at a slightly higher level by now, but you do have to wonder sometimes...

Ah yes but that's the catch all of "faith", you believe no matter what....

I too believe in free expression and free speech, so no, I wouldn't ban religion. I don't believe that the church should hold such sway over the way our country is run though.
