I have a real problem with religion and this kind of thinking. It's nothing personal against you, but there it is. Here's why...
...There are two kinds of religious people - balls to the wall where it permeates everything, or sleep walking, where you just kind of accept it because you don't want to think very hard about it. I'm not sure which is worse. On the one hand I respect the balls to the wall people like my sister, because at least they fucking LIVE what they believe, but on the other hand people who take religion that literally expose it for how ridiculous it is. The sleep walkers, while not flaunting their stupidity, are bad because they don't even think about it! They reflect a kind of intellectual bankruptcy that's prevalent today. I don't see how you can be a "moderate" believer, either you fucking believe all the way, or you just sorta follow the crowd. People in the middle are the biggest joke of all - like being neutral in a time of great conflict - not fully invested or withdrawn.
BDH, would you explain your religious believes to us, please? I know it's a somewhat confrontational environment, and you're out numbered quite a bit, but I'd still like to read them. As Christians are concerned with saving souls, I am concerned with saving minds.
