Nigher of which says anything other than "its a book" I'm not going to pick up a starwars book and believe it also. even if the starwars book was 2000 years old

point being, i don't care who belongs to what group, my beliefs are my beliefs because they make sense to me, i think i stand pretty logical I find the craziest ones are the ones that don't know anything about their own religion, just blind faith. Their just like HSUS supporters to me lol. wow im getting off topic
I'm a big supporter of the saying that "God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts" so even I, as a Christian, have my mini-issues with some other Christians. While I may not agree with your stance as being an athiest, it doesn't mean I don't respect your choice in beliefs. I'm not one to shove my beliefs down anyone's throats, but rather show how I believe through my actions. If that makes a difference in someone's life, then that's wonderful. If I have to tell someone I'm a Christian, and they can't see it in how I talk, act, and treat others, then I feel I need to re-evaluate who I am and where I'm at spiritually. One of my really, really good friends is an athiest and she and I have never had an issue being friends because of it.

I also think that before you can start looking at other people's beliefs, or lack of them, you must know your's. I'll be the first to admit that there is a lot more about my religion that I must know. That's one thing I can definitley say I have noticed- often times an athiest knows just as much or more about the Christian faith as a Christian.

As for the blind faith situation, I think there's a fine line between having a lot of faith and having a lack of knowledge of what you believe. Faith is the cornerstone of Christianity, because I cannot scientifically prove to you that Jesus was the Son of God. However, it doesn't mean that I can rely solely on my faith. I still have to constantly learn about my religion. But, I learn it with faith since it can't be proven. I know that's something hard for those who don't believe to understand or believe, but it's enough for me. I'm only 21 and while I've been in church my entire life for the most part, there is so much more that I have to learn.

And yeah, we've definitley strayed totally off-topic, and I hope I haven't offended anyone either.
