Well my friend, I know that you are quite a bit different then the mainstream American christian. That being said, I don't think I have to go over each point in this post.

No doubt faith is hard, blind faith on the other hand isen't.

It's not ridding yourself of desire that's the problem, without desire, why would you want to seek a better life anyway? The goal is to make life as good as you can with what you know. I donno anyone who doesn't want to make their life better!

I appreciate your consideration. It's true that those who are intolerant and blind make the rest of us look like fools, but what the average American does has little to do with a faith that has spanned millennia. And I agree, we should make our lives better. Christianity provides an excellent framework: treat others with love.

I must apologize to you as well, It's just that all the christians I come in contact with on a daily basic are somewhat radical living in southern california where I do. Their ideas are somewhat off the wall and don't make sense in reality whatsoever.

Howver you always make good points, and treating others with love is the best way to find happiness within youself.

Oh, I totally agree. Lots of Christians today don't actually seem to understand their own religion beyond a set of nice platitudes they accept out of a fear of hell.

The real thing is a complicated story of a fallen humanity and its relationship with the infinite Divine.

You're always a pleasure to swap points with!
