+1. Who gets this much satisfaction about tearing down religious beliefs? Who has the time and inclination to park themselves on the religion board and swat down every brand of faith? Someone has deep, deep issues.[/quote]

religious beliefs rely on faith, not facts.  People lose their faith for many reasons - and some retain their faith irrespective of the many doubts they have about how the beliefs of their religion don't square with reality.

If you find your religious beliefs being "torn down" by commentary here, perhaps your faith is not strong enough and you should work on it.  Or perhaps the logic and reality testing you use in the rest of your life is starting to strengthen in light of some of what you've read here -- and you find it disconcerting. [/quote]

Now now. You understand the difference between someone pointing out theological differences with a person and someone discrediting an entire way of thought, and, by extension, those who hold those beliefs.

I'm wondering more about the mental state of a person who feels satisfied by doing that.

But I suppose if you are going to question a person's faith, then it isn't surprising that you would turn it around and call the believer's depth of faith into question as a defense. Lame.[/quote]
