I believe your name to be Derek, am I wrong?
Find a faith and hold onto it brother. Don’t agonize over the iota’s. My only point was that faith, not logic is G-d’s way. Logic will lead you away from faith.
He acquired them by creating them.

I'd answer that, but ever since that Clinton crony came on FR about eight or nine years ago and started screaming for everyone to reveal their identities (and I used to show my e-mail) I've made it a policy to never say what my name is or isn't.

Well . . . color me confused. Your first post was attacking religion and extolling the logic of atheism. Now you're against logical atheism and clinging like a little child to "faith" disconnected from objective reality? Man, that's "double truth" ever I ever heard it. I suppose your view of a good religious person is one who recites texts and performs rituals without believing in the facticity of the words he is reciting--sort of a ritual pantomime. This is the heart of Eliade's "myth and ritual" school of religion is it not? That the ritual preceded, and transcends, the "myth" which later grew up to explain it? I on the other hand regard a clergyman who recites words he doesn't believe merely because it's part of his ethno-cultural heritage to be a hypocrite. As Flannery O'Connor said, "if it's a symbol, the hell with it."
Next time you want to converse, perhaps I should ask you to define "morality," "good," and "evil."
Well, today's the short day. (And for some reason FR is loading very slowly on my computer today). Later!
