[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 5503979, member: 566521"] Good. Faith is the most idiotic thing there is. I am not saying that a god does not exist. It is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of a higher being. But nobody should accept a god's existence without evidence. I have had experiences in my life that make me believe that something is out there. But to accept a god or a religion without question, ie having faith, is asinine. The whole concept of faith was invented so that religions could control people without having to deal with their questions, either because those questions were unanswerable or because they pointed out discrepencies within religious doctrine. They couldn't have the people they were looking to control and oppress walking around with the knowledge that the church was just a bunch of ordinary men like everyone else. Believe in what you can see, in what you can prove. And don't discount any possibility without that same amount of proof. [/QUOTE]
