I was surfing the internet and came across this board. Very interesting.
Obviously, I haven't read all the threads, but what I have read I have found to be very engaging. A little about myself...I am 28 years old and I currently do not attend church. I grew up in a Mormon household but became disillusioned with the beliefs and practices of that faith and I have been doing research into other faiths. However, I think religion in general is ultimately a bad thing. Belief in a God is, at its very foundation, irrational in my view and I would like to hear why any of you may think otherwise. I don't want to pick a fight, per se, but I would like to hear the reasons each of you have for your particular beliefs. Arguing for or against a belief in God will eventually lead nowhere...as I can no more prove God cannot exist than you can prove that he does. In my opinion, a belief in a supernatural creator of the universe is far more interesting to me when people explore reasons people have for faith, as opposed to the validity of the particular beliefs themselves. I think Spying and LucySmith would be interesting to engage in this conversation.
Anyway, if anybody is willing to engage, I would be willing to discuss.
