That's your opinion Sully. I also have the bible but I'm not gonna try to prove to you that God is real. Just like no one can prove he is not real. I don't debate over this.
You misunderstood. I learned a long time ago that debating the existence of deities with people that drink the kool-aid is a waste of time. What I'm talking about is the merits and pitfalls of faith, and not necessarily in a religious context, although the same principle applies.
Faith, whether it's that aliens exist and are amongst us or that your brother-in-law will pay you back the money you lent him, is dangerous. Faith throws reasoning, logic, and evidence out the window and causes us to make decisions based on emotions and desires. Humans aren't that rational even when we're calm and detached from a situation, and are prone to bad decisions even when presented with mountains of evidence with which to use to make a logical decision. If one idea deserves your faith, regardless of what it is, doesn't every idea deserve your faith as well? Where do u draw the line and decide not to believe in something if you'll believe in anything else based on faith? I have to ask that question, because I honestly don't have an answer because I don't really understand the concept of faith, in anything.
