"Blind Faith", critizing religion... Options

[xjjajeengx]

Okay I just finished my report/essay on this topic. It's basically...

"Do you think that calling religion blind-faith is acceptable in today's society? Do you believe that it is blind faith?"

I know its a lamooo subject, but i actually wrote like more than 3 pages on this... so yea... amazing huh. And what sucks is that i have to think moreee of this subject sinc we're going to ahve this jumbo mumbo debate thing and i have smart people in my class who can beat the sh!t outtta me with language and brains...

My opinion:
-Amendment 1 states freedom of religion, it is the first amendment therefore was important...

-There is no solid proof that religion is in fact blind faith just as non beeleevers would say that there is no proof that religion is correct...

-True, amendment 1 states freedom of speech, but it seems disrespectful to use the freedom of speech to diss something that our forefathers have put into the constitution to better our country.

Lame lame opinion here, i admit, because i was required to addd a "legal-point-of-view" and OBVIOUSLY my teacher was dissapointed since i happened to add the FIRST amendment... hahah anyways. opinions?

All faith is blind. You can't look at God and say, "Oh yeah. He's right here having cofee beside me. That's how I know he exists." Faith is believeing something with your heart, not your mind, with no real concrete facts to back it up.

Criticising someone else's faith is pointless. You can't prove faith wrong. It isn't possible. It's faith witch means it's what someone believes based on whats in thier heart. You can't alter that with facts.

Furthermore, why criticize someones faith? The biggest reason I can see is to belittle them. Why belittle them? Because you're threatened? People don't like what they don't know, and what differs from their own personal opinion.

Let people do whatever the they want as long at it isn't hurting anyone. For example if I feel the urge to coat myself in powedered sugar and worship goodyear tires on the third day of every month at 3:00am. Too bad if you don't like it.
