OK first to the above poster who mentioned Love as an unobjective feeling. The problem with love is that it is an internal thing, when I say "I love you" I don't mean that i am calling upon the force of some external "Love God", I am talking about love the feeling. However when people talk about God they actually mean God, the thing. Which I believe is stupid.
Furthermore, as I have already said, and will say again, I am not talking about a quiet, unobtrusive belief. You are free to believe in the Celestial teapot, or the flying spaghetti monster or God, it really doesn't bother me, honestly. If you can give me proof, real proof, or the means to get that proof, observable, testable proof, then I will believe you. I will apologize for all my insults and give my life to God.
As it turns out, I don't see anyone offering anything other than "Its all about faith", well...life isn't about faith. Life is about taking always moving forward, making conscious choices. I don't see how a person can make a conscious choice when they believe ultimately they are controlled by an external force.
I don't happen to believe utopia is achieved through integration of ideas, I believe we as a society have to evolve past ideas, especially ones like religion, its a poison that might seem all happy and joyful on the face, but in the end it turns out to be Pennywise the Clown.
