"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?

first of all, id like to say that you bringing up this topic in the first place is completely 100% politically incorrect. go you!

personally, im just a disturbed teen who has lost all faith in humanity and anything to do with it whatsoever, especially religion or other crap like that.
but ya don't hafta listen to me, im just a mentally disturbed 13-year-old who knows too much about politics for her own good 

p.s. im an atheist so sorry if im offending you by saying that all religion is basically just a load of bs, but thats wut the 1st amendment is for

Organized religion is all too often a load of bs. (And there's nothing wrong with being a 13-year-old interested in politics. hehe)

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.

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.

We should start that religion! It sounds like the sure perfect way to heaven to me!!!
