Just an observation about this thread in general...

Some of the people posting here need to remember that "people of faith," doesn't equate to "Christian." When some of you talk about "scripture" and so forth, it's amusing that you take that to be the final arbiter on all matters in this discussion. For some of us, who aren't atheists (but don't belong to any organized religion), the Bible is just one of many books written over the centuries that contain nuggets of wisdom. The problem are those who decide "their way is the only way", and say that it's true because, well, "Jesus said so!" I argued with a man from the Islamic mosque near Mayfair once about their own certainties and "truth." Some of us just simply know that life is an incredible happening, the Universe is an unfathomable mystery, and we don't have to know all the answers (certainly not THE answer) to be in awe, and even feel that there's likely more going on than we can begin to comprehend. Some of us go day-to-day thinking and pondering these big questions, that doesn't make us bad people - just thinking ones.
