i am strongly against religion - it has currupted beliefs.

throughout the years, it is known religious leaders have altered the bible and other religious texts to suit their own need and to insure power over the people; who is to know what is true and what is absolutely fiction

but i am not anti-faith, for my faith in god is strong.

I'm a Deist... more humanist, than anything, but I do believe in God. I agree with both creationism and evolution. I'm opened to any possibility as the possibilities are infinite because while people claim to know all, they cannot (unless they are God). And while hardcore believers and hardcore unbelievers will have a problem with that, I don't care. To each his own.

I just didn't appreciate that you were a dick before you knew that about me (I could just be overly sensitive here). I guess that's your way of defending your beliefs, but you're not going to convince anyone of anything by being mean alone. Especially when we all have preconceived notions and we all believe in something already.

That's why so many of us who've been here debating (and arguing) since the begining learned that religion... isn't a good topic for debate unless those who are debating can keep a good head on their shoulders when their beliefs are thrown in the gutter by the next person who thinks his belief is the only right one... etc.

Yep.. religion is a touchy subject. You should see the Religion/Politics topics in the bodybuilding forum, many people get banned there lol. I try to stay away from that section of the forum :D
