It has always baffled me that humans think they know all there is to know about "God" yet cannot even name all shades of green or breeds of dogs for example. Not knowing but always seeking seems to be the best approach to life and makes conversations more of a curiosity than a competition!

Does it baffle you that they made up a god in the first place? What gets me is they continue to use it as an excuse to treat people like garbage while they over indulged in the fruits of evil moves from past to present? Can you relate to that?

It's ironic that the more ignorant people are, the more certain they are.

What amazes me is that someone could believe so strongly in one old book when they haven't read all the texts from around the world. They just assume that the One that's been shown to them is the ultimate truth. That is like saying America is the best place in the world when you've never been anywhere else.

Yes; applies equally to believers and disbelievers. We love our comforting certainty. Even certain death can be more attractive than not knowing.

If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.

The learning process begins the day we are born and continues till the day we die. Religious people live in their own world and don't want to look past their front door.

Somehow "unshakable faith" has become a quality people aspire to. The magic of MARKETING!

That reminds me of Socrates. Just admit that you don’t know squat and endeavor to find truth.
