Some skeptics are like that....just gotta find something to gripe/dislike/question about everything...I think they just like arguing their own perspective...

really only the origin by now, connor. and upon reflection thats still quite a bit preferable to the origins of many other religions.

I'll apologize to the skeptics if I don't understand why the origin is any reason to judge a "religion". They must not understand what a religion is.

I think many people view religions as "answers". Or, that they are meant to be the vessels of answers.

In my opinion, religion provides more questions than answers.

They miss that life is supposed to be fun, as well as serious...

Like, serious fun!

Its why we have to continue to improve, yet not lose our core...

And remember to laugh, of course....

Ren, can we get a forum for news related articles? Or is there a good one already existing?

One better than the miscellaneous forum?

If you set the bar on having fun very high, which I recommend, the moderate level should still be great.

Since when has taking things at face value become a virtue?

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

It's always good to do your research and ask questions before making decisions...what I was thinking of are the ones that get obsessively argumentative and seek to attack/crush others for taking things on "faith"....wolves and sheep....wolves need sheep, and sheep need wolves...how would either survive without the other....
