I guess for the few years I was bickering back and forth about creation/ID/evolution I never really stopped to try and understand where you were coming from. Thank you for sharing with me. [side note] [quote] [b]poi said:[/b] One's perception of reality do not change reality itself. [/quote] AMEN! I know that you may consider me as some psycho for going to religion and God for truth, but I'm after the same thing you are: truth. I want to know what reality is about and what it means. Not what someone tells me it is. That's why I'm starting to question some things I once took for granted: in science, my religion, and my relationships. Just thought you'd like to know that some of us "theists" aren't completely blind sheep either. ;-) [/side note] You brought up a ton of really good questions about religion. I don't think I have many, if any, of the answers. But I did like the question about rituals. My church didn't really have any rituals except communion and baptism, but they did have traditions. TONS of them. I grew up Baptist, so there were tons of things that I wasn't allowed to do, or I was at least frowned down upon for doing: dancing, not dressing up for church, gambling, drinking, etc. Just to name a few. I decided to look into them myself to see why they didn't want me doing these things. I found out that most of them were rooted in really good reasons. The only problem was that they blew the good reasons out of proportion. The traditions were meant for a few people to help them...it ended up hurting the crowd when it was applied to everyone. Just for curiosity's sake, do you have a church background or did you get these ideas from watching other people?
