"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?

No offense... but that stuff isnt part of the Bible... what you religion believes is something else... but whats in the Bible has been in the Bible since the first edition...

I know it's not in the bible, you said to "enlighten" you with things that have been left out of the bible...did you not?? My religion is catholic btw...so exactly what does my religion believe differently??.

My point is through interpretation you get many variations and some things don't even make it to the text version. Also you need to take into consideration things that they have found (artifacts and such) that were found after the original publication of the bible, that have never been added. Why do you think there are so many different publications of bibles. The King James Bible is not the only bible there is.

If the bible were to be interpreted into a modern day text format, like how we speak today, many things that are in the bible probably wouldn't be construed the same way.
