the only thing i can say in this essay that would make me think other wise of my religion is if God loves us so much what's with all the suffering and pain that everyone is going through? But I know that that is just something that you have to deal with. Maybe he's just testing us and wants to see who really believes in him. I think that other's people's beliefs are important and I would never try and push my faith on somebody else, but like everybody else has said I'd rather live my life as if there is a God and find out there isn't one rather than living my life as if there wasn't one only to find out there is.

^^cosign to all that right there...
Geez, I read the article. I don't dislike hearing opinions and beliefs that may conflict with mine. I found sense in what Penn said, even if it's not what I believe. I see it as he came to his spiritual conclusion, and I can respect him for that because it is his own conclusion.
So...with that said, all the weakminded/strongminded hearsay is unnecessary. To believe in anything, you must be strongminded, whether it's believing in God or not believing in God, because there is always someone who wants to test what you believe.
Also, I liked N7's quote. But that leads me to think, do you (a general you..not pointing at N7 or any1 else) believe in God because you're scared of being wrong? Or do you believe in God because you truly believe in Him out of devotion, love, and respect whether it be blind or not? I onno, it was just a thought...
solipsistic <---didn't even know that word existed, glad I read the article. Thanks for the link Crunk, very insightful.
oOo yeah, i didnt read GoldenSuperstar's comment..so i guess i'll mosey on ova to look at that..
