i walked in on a discussion of religion taking place in the lunch room today. a woman in my department was saying that she will believe in religion when religion gives her some proof/evidence to believe in.
silly me chimed in that that just misses the point of religion, which is to have faith. Faith that there is a higher being, that it doesnt just stop with us, because isnt that just a depressing thought?
needless to say, she gave me the evil to end all evils.
it was at that point that i decided to leave with my coffee and monte carlo. However it made me think, why did this woman, who was the resident loudmouth, refuse to believe in something that had never provided what she deemed proof.
im sure she believes in something like say, self confidence. Self confidence is something that essentially exists without any tangible proof and is only something that exists when the person that holds it believes that they hold it.
so why do people fight religion, and fight the people who believe in it souly.
Extreme religion is just extreme faith.
