I have no issues with people who don't try to spread their religion.I can believe there's an invisible,untouchable,all-wise,omnipotent,omniscient being in the skies.I can also believe the sky is filled with flying donuts.Or leprechauns.The only thing these share is the amount of evidence for them.Mentioned in books.Well wow,there are 7 books about Harry Potter.Why should I believe what I read in a bible without question,and not do the same for Harry Potter ? Oh,it's written by a god.How do you know ? It's the word of a god.How do you know ? Because the bible tells us so.Bah.
Trust me,if someone showed me actual evidence for intelligent design of any kind,I would believe in it.And I mean evidence that makes sense and one which cannot be disproved easily.Example - gravity.I can feel gravity.I see its effects all around me.I can experiment with it.It never changes.Even if it would be more convenient for me to not believe in it,I know it's there.That's why you don't see me attempting jumps from buildings and onto concrete.
Now some people would say the entire universe is created by some all-powerful deity.In the beginning it was only the dude,and he decided to make a universe and inhabit it with people.Right.Where did the deity come from ? Oh,he was always there.Right.So a being capable of creating an extremely sophisticated universe could have always been there,but an extremely sophisticated universe could not have always been there.That all sounds fine and dandy for most of the religious folk.I'm fine with that.Until and unless it starts getting in my way.If a religious person does me or anyone I concider an innocent being/a friend any harm,I will retaliate with all I have.
Believe in whatever you want,but keep it to yourself.Many people have tried to change my mind about religion.All of them have failed.At the end of the day,when christians cross the street,they look both ways.
P.S: This isn't aimed towards you,Gotkicks2,it's just a small part of my general opinion towards the various religions.
