Very interesting article, SeekAndFind. Thanks for posting it. I’m a Christian who has had conversations with athiests and agnostics. Much of what this article is saying rings true, in my opinion.
I learned a valuable lesson from a preacher’s wife many years ago. She basically said, “I don’t argue religion, because religion is based on faith” and “I don’t argue against other religions (our conversation was about Mormons) because we are all taught our beliefs and hold on to them regardless of whether we are right or wrong”.
I trust in God and if I was wrong in not becoming a Mormon, or Jew, or Catholic, or ‘name your religion’, then I pray He will forgive me.
This is well said. I think religion can be, and mostly is, a beautiful thing. But call me a “Doubting Thomas” or whatever. I have absolutely lost all trust in mankind to secure and deliver religious truth. And if there is a God, he/she should have known better than to put his “truth” in the hands of man. Just look what they’ve done in his name. :(
