The need to look to supernatural beings for answers to fundamental questions such as Sol’s or justification for personal actions as per the quote is by that light a sign of limited intelligence.

Wait till you see hell. Who could have made you alive? Is that suppose to be some kind of a joke. You rant rubbish forgetting the reality you're now in.

Seems to me that god is merely a reflection of the believer. How good, just, benign or frightening depends on who it is a reflection of. I'd not like to meet the terrifying beast that is r(sol)'s deity. Isn’t it curious that god always seems to share the same prejudices as his votaries?

It just says that "God said so," is not a good enough reason in itself for any action, since no one can be SURE that any gods ever said ANYTHING. When we can make a completely reality-based decision, weighing the pros & cons, assessing all potential harms & benefits, THEN we are in a proper position for finding good reasons to do, or not do, any action. Theists can rail against something like homosexuality, for example, all they want, but the fact is that god ALSO says, in the very same book, that eating shellfish is an abomination, but Christians (sorry Sol) never choose to uphold that particular law, despite god's clarity on the issue. We'll hear ALL about how Jesus came to say that he did not come to remove the laws but to reinforce them, or however it goes, but honestly, Christians will simply follow whatever laws they deem fit. Where are the protest groups and legislation calling for adherence to Leviticus 11:9? Why, Tech?

I'm afraid that I'm not that complicated, consequently I find the truth to be more black and white. It's painfully obvious that religions lack "truth" because they lack the data to validate any part of it. I see no gray area there. Regarding "faith" and my desire to see it made illegal: Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was of course referring to religious faith. It seems that our resident troll thinks our comments are too complicated. I would argue that my comments are extremely basic on the topic so as usual, he has no valid response other than to, "vomit." YSG,
