'The Reverend' - Je Schneider

[john-nxxn]

Faith is not a virtue it's gullibility

[FatMadt]

I haven't seen that quote before, but it is spot on. It just goes to show, there's a reason why it's called blind faith.

Ben Franklin, who once suggested to his father that they say one blessing over the just-filled larders so that they didn't have to waste the time at table doing so every night. Classic!

Wow, even Benjamin Franklin knew religions were a bunch of BS.

[parmarja]

That is the reason why faiths do not make much sense.

[Emanoia]

Faith is an excuse to believe nonsense when there are no good reasons to believe.

I'm losing my marriage because of I don't close my eyes to it

[Kaisermb]

I’ve often wondered why so many people are so bothered by someone who has faith or is a believer.

"Atheism has moved from the intellectual plane, where it was in the last century, to the existential plane; from the level of proving atheism to the living it; from the nonexistence of God to the existence of humanity. Atheism posits a new god, namely, Man. The position of Marx and Engels, the founders of Communism, is that man has transferred to God qualities and attributes which really belong to him, such as knowing all things, possessing power to do all things, unlimited compassion, unbounded love and torrential mercy. Man, they continue, has destroyed his nature by this transfer of attributes to God; thus he emptied himself. The only way he can ever be himself is to take back those titles which really belong to him. Then will be ushered into the world that humanism in which Man is God and not mere man. Atheism then becomes not the denial of God, but the affirmation of Man. Marx wrote at the end of his thesis for a Ph.D., "I hate all the gods, and I hate them because they do not recognize Man as Supreme Divinity."
Fulton J Sheen

Apparently he didn't read the writings of Paul about reasoning together

When was the last time something happened to you that defied reason? Is it possible that there are real things occurring outside of YOUR sense of "reason"?

Today - we ignore how fast the world is changing because to us - it is normal. If you told someone in the 1200's there would be airplanes - would anyone believe it? At the time - did it defy reason? Yup.
