Go to Religion in the Modern World
- Add a comment
- Go to Our responsibilities as non believers
For me, it's just easier to trust people who think and act for themselves

Gome...
Honestly...I thought you would ignore my comment... So therefore, in the converse, I would like you even more if you were a believer... We would start a foundation in St. Jude's name for the hopeless cases... a dream of mine...Mel

Melody - the answer is; yes, I would propably like you more if you were a
non believer.
That is a basic human response, to subconsciously seek out those of like mind. A non believer is much more likely to give you an accurate representation of themselves. All individuals must concede to at least this minor bias. Only a liar would tell you otherwise. Honesty starts with not lying to yourself, I will modify my shortcomings before I will lie about not having them. Now tell me honestly; was that the answer you expected?

franciscan - I don't know that you have ever spoken truer words.
Yeah, no kidding, religion can be a dumping ground for the weak of will and mind. That is my entire point. Excuse me if I do not want to be led by the weak of will and mind.

Gomedome,
Some would lie,cheat and steal to an even worse degree if they they didn't have the grace of the Triune God in their lives.

Gomedome, I'm reminded of the lawyer who said that "95% of the lawyers give the rest of us a bad name." Samhain_Moon
