Civil Discussion About Religion

[RobH4413]

Just got home from work- Thought beemnseven had some good point...

The one thing that actually turned me off from religion was the concept of faith. It seemed very sketchy that you had to believe, and why a god would care whether or not we "believed" in him. What a shallow thing for him to ask from us. Just didn't make sense to me.

How can a man 100% purely good in the heart, who doesn't believe in an entity known as "God", defy what a relegion speaks of.

I also found it entirely plausible for someone, throughout the corse of time, to have created a religion and exploited people. It just all seems very likely for that to have happened.

Is it also possible that there is one right religion, sure... I just don't know which one it is, and wonder why so many people can be so sure that theirs is it.
