Who has lost faith in religion?

In hell, the people have chopsticks that are 3 feet long so that they cannot reach their mouths.

In heaven, the chopsticks are still three feet long- but they feed each other.

Whether or not your're religious, just respect your fellow man and woman, and live for family and community. If these are your main focouses in life, you can't go wrong.

Few religions tell you NOT to do this, and if you stand for these values, respect, family and community- without a title behind it such as Judaisim or Catholocisim or whatever- you will still be a better person than many "religious" people I know.

This is indeed true, including your final statement unfortunately. However it does fall short in a couple areas I can think of off the top of my head.

One, if there is a God your view would have you miss out on a relationship with Him. Looking back on my relationship with God over the years, and the difference it has made in my life and lives He has touched through me...it far and away tops the list of things I would not want to miss in this life.

Second, your view doesn't exactly prepare you for what may come after this life. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Good values indeed, but part way there is still....just part way there.

I am a believer. I struggle sometimes to stay on the right path, But I still have my faith in Jesus.

I feel bad for some of you misinformed people.

But if you are reffering to "non-believers" that is a really ignorant comment to make. Thats like me saying I feel bad for all you suckers who believe everything that is fed to you by your parents and any authoritive figure and ignorant to the realities of science and the real world around you, of course I would never say that though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Highlighted the key word there. It is our choice, not yours to make for us; deal with it. That and you have no proof that heaven even exists //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I am a legitimate free thinker.

I recall an episode of Politically Incorrect(when it was still on) when Bill Maher said(I'm paraphrasing a bit here) "All religions are fanatical. Fanaticism is believing what the logical mind knows to be untrue"
