No, no, not at all. Not at all. I think non-religious can certainly understand why others are religious. I think what I have learned through this thread and others is that the non-religious are having a hard time understanding how the religious can seemingly abandon logic and reason in favor of what they KNOW TO BE blind faith.
Only one correction and I think you've got it!
Depends. I know Phoenix has said that, my position throughout has been that I understand it, and that I think there is a place for faith, and that I don't begrudge anyone their faith. The only particular problem I have along those lines is how some (not all) religious people behave -- how their religious convictions are expressed or implemented.
Questioner,
I can live with that.
sozobe,
I can't disagree with you there. Too many use their religion to justify their behaviors.
That explains why you are behaving in such a religious manner, Momma Angel.
Gus,
Can you elaborate on that a bit, please?
