Religion, or the 45 minute class before lunch in grade school

Simply put...


I think the "idea" of religion is obsolete to me because at this point in time, in the history of man, it works against logic. It no longer works to explain things, it regresses knowledge to a mid-evil stereotype and we're smarter than that!

Faith......on the other hand is a different entity. Faith you cannot create. It's there or it isn't, depending upon subject matter. I really don't think you have a choice as to what you have faith in. Science, fate, god, "reality" or a flying spaghetti monster......if it makes enough sense to you to seem real, you're going to believe in it. It's funny, because a priest once told me that"faith will be your saving grace." He inferred faith in Jesus Christ, sure, but he didn't say faith in JC. And really, isn't that what drives people? Just faith? In a relative way, who is faithless? Everyone believes is something........
