Well Andy stated that he grew up in a reasonably traditional Christian family and afterwards he said although its nice and comforting and all he doesn't think its likely for there to be anything after death. This is basically summed up with "You don't love a god, you love your comfort" That's the thing with religion, (Whether you believe in any or not) Its comforting to think there is a higher power, ya'know. Like that thought process of "At Least if I die I go to a better place" kinda thing. Besides that I think its great as personally I hate religion and see at as propaganda ^-^
Comforting? Without faith, there would be no reason for guilt. The belief is not always comforting. It's not comforting when we sin and know we shall answer to a higher power than our lowly selves. Propaganda is generalizing, stereotyping, and feeling it's ok to be prejudiced against faith and those of faith. Why is a five letter word beginning with M coming to mind? Please be careful tonight.

Guilt Has Many Reasons Not Just Faith, Just Because I Don't Believe In Religion Doesn't Mean I Don't Believe In Some Of Religions Morals. And I Was Simply Using An Example When It Comes To Comfort, Obviously With Everything There Are Ups & Downs, Especially With Comfort. Plus we aren't "Lowly" we are all equal. If your comparing to "God" than okay yes perhaps we may be lowly but that's fictional to me and hence doesn't apply to my life (But If It Does To Your Life, Good Luck (: ).

Look I Was Christian For Very Long And My Father Is A Priest For The Methodist Church So Its Not Like I Don't Know What I Am On About Here, I Just Found That There Are Too Many Contradictions in the Bible and that its all just to irrational for me. Also how do we know that some of the "Miracles" and stuff performed by Jesus (Example) are real or not just stated to get the point across. Maybe Jesus didn't really walk on water but that that was stated so that we will get the meaning/moral of the story. Its just not clear enough for me, but if anyone else wants to believe they can and i will not judge them. And no, I cant think of a specific word that's starts with M that's five letters long because there are many options. Perhaps make yourself clearer regarding that statement? Also I Was Not Sure How To Take Your Last Comment, Was It You Being Witty (No Offence) Or Just Being Somewhat Nice..?
