Reply #40: What is the difference... [View All]

[BigThama]

between parents teaching their children that there is a God and teaching their children that there is no God?

One way, you teach them to put their faith in the unknown, in the form of an all-knowing God.
The other way, you teach them to put their faith in the unknown, in the form of the human mind.

One way, you teach them that deviation results in damnation.
The other way, you teach them that deviation results in wasting your life in this silly religion stuff.

I'm sick of this attitude of superiority coming from many (not all) of the secularists here at DU. A belief that God doesn't exist is just as faith-based as a belief that he does exist, the faith is just pointed in a different direction. Get off of your high horses.
