It’s ok, CJ, I don’t believe in the toothfairy or the easter bunny, either. Santa Claus, I’m still on the fence.

Billy,

People are crazy as bats. Walking bags of hallucinations. Every last one of us. You’re right about the fraud. I guess donate to education (as opposed to building the block). I hope BTB fails, because then we can have another referundum to get tax for the schools.

Themis: Check this out. There is a rational basis for belief in God, regardless of how you personally choose believe. The same cannot be said for belief in psychic powers.

Themis: That’s an interesting point and I’m glad you brought it up.

The difference: I am going to go out on a limb and say that the vast majority of people who stand before their congregations have faith. And I also believe that the money they take from parishioners goes to toward helping their fellow man.

No different than the mythology perpetuated on people every Sunday and call it religion. As you said, “It is a sad state of affairs, but even in the 21srt century, there are still people who believe this unscientific drivel.” Who are you to tell people what to believe?
