The problem with faith in God is it requires....well, FAITH. Religious people love to sstate emphatically that GOD has to exist, but how do you know? You don't. You just take it on faith or on the word of a priest (who took it on faith or the word of another priest). I'm not saying there definitely isn't some higher power somewhere (since I can't prove THAT either), but I would like for those that believe to at least be honest....and say, that they ARE NOT 100% SURE that God and Heaven actually exist. That's all I want in these conversations. I think the overwhelming majority of the Christian community isn't all that certain of anything, but won't admit it. I just want less of the bullshit.
