		<description>Dear tech,  thanks for your reminder regarding the anger in me.In fact I.&#039;ve tried to be as polite as possible but these Atheist lots seems to take the advantage of making a mockery out of our views.I undestand that as one who upholds religion should exercise a lot of patience, but at certain instance one needs to show confrontation.Lets take it that they are at war.</description>

		<description>You all are talking about faith without realy knowing what comes along with faith.I&#039;ll cite you a simple example.You cannot leave your donkey or your horse or your car untied or unlock and have faith it wil not lost or stolen.So faith comes with or some form of guarantee.When it comes to faith in god,it too have some form of evidence which the Atheist lots allways try to dismiss it.The evidence are all the creations that is found around you.So faith doesnt come empty handed.</description>

		<description>Captain, that was a great way to point out the fallacy of tech&#039;s statement on faith. I couldn&#039;t have said it any better.

It reminds me of the quip: I have complete faith that jumping off the roof won&#039;t kill me. I&#039;m not sure I can say the same about hitting the ground.</description>

		<description>@the quote...shaking head back and forth...

Of course they shouldn&#039;t be &quot;privileged&quot; because of a &quot;label of faith!&quot;

I for one feel like I&#039;m in the Dark Ages when I discuss this issue.

&quot;Faith&quot; should not be privileged, condoned, liked, spoken, or in the dictionary.  But since I&#039;ve been unsuccessful in its eradication, look it up, and split the definition in two:
1. a belief without proof or evidence
2. what a person believes

Make sure when speaking to the faithful that they know which definition it is that you are (hopefully) maligning.  So often they confuse themselves by using both definitions interchangeably; and they mean one and I mean the other.

Aw, hell, just rip it out of the dictionary and save yourself a bit on toiletpaper expenditures.</description>

		<description>Tech - the comment started off so promising... Yes, I&#039;d say all people have faith. I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow based of the strength of the pattern. I don&#039;t however find faith sufficient to cross a street. For this task, actual observation of the traffic is preferrable. Faith would be placing a blindfold over your eyes and then stepping out into traffic, secure that you&#039;ll make it to the other side unscathed.

Now, suppose you do make it. Does your faith deserve any credit or is it more likely that the drivers decided against folding their cars around you or that you were just simply lucky?</description>

		<description>Tech, I have faith in cars, roads, and lots of things that are easily found and real.  Those things are reliable and they exist.  I just don&#039;t have faith in &quot;imaginary friends&quot; that only a few people can see.

Because, until someone, somewhere somehow manages to make a simple demonstration that they are real, there is no proof, just delusion.

And no, cryptic contradictory messages in a bronze age compilation of scripts does not constitute evidence.

So, take your argument one step further.  I agree, in this definition, that we all have faith in road crossings.  What faith are you advocating, and what is your proof?</description>

		<description>Gentlemen , there is not one person on this site that don&#039;t have faith.You see if you didn&#039;t have faith, a simple thing like crossing the street wouldn&#039;t happen.You have to believe you can make it to the other side without getting ran over by a vehicle. You know that this has happened before people get run down.So your faith allows you to cross the street.</description>

		<description>Tech&lt;blockquote&gt;Some use the words: faith, christain, rightious &amp; religious rather loosely.&lt;/blockquote&gt; part of a sensible comment. However how can you be sure that your interpretation of the above is the right one? maybe you are playing fast and loose with the true meanings.
Cap&#039;n&lt;blockquote&gt;Holy – you missed the memo. The Pope is infallible.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Actually it depends on &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_infallibility#Ex_cathedra&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;what he&#039;s sitting on at the time&lt;/a&gt; So we know what he sits on most of the time.
Holysmokes &lt;blockquote&gt;The Pope is inflatable? Really? That’s a gas! lol&lt;/blockquote&gt; He&#039;s also fellatable, which sucks!
GWG&lt;blockquote&gt;As is often said, I’ll stop making fun of your ideas as soon as you stop having funny ideas.&lt;/blockquote&gt; Classic, I will be stealing that one loads (don&#039;t expect a credit though )</description>

Apparently Iran doesn&#039;t agree with the quote as they are jailing and planning to execute people for &quot;waging war against god&quot;.  The sooner their people overthrow their gov&#039;t the better.  What a bunch of lunatics.</description>
