Re: short and simple
i've pretty much gotten to the end of religion and even into the concept of a maleficent god. so. i don't really know what's left.

reality has nothing to do with what you want to be true, but what is demonstrable.

your scripture quotes have nothing to do with the topic. i suggest you stop addending them.

Re: short and simple
yet you seem to still have faith.
i know.
and i can't figure out why.
i really should be an atheist by now.
is the neccessary ultimate conclusion of questioning abandoning faith?
i don't think so. but probably a change in how you approach it. i was raised to question everything. it's just part of who i am. test the spirits and all that. but the response that other christians give me about just having the questions i have is far more destructive to my faith than any question i could ever have.
it seems to stand up pretty poorly against doubt.
specific dogma stands up poorly to doubt. an edge of mystery doesn't really. i dunno. it's strange. there's just so much we don't know and so much we don't understand. if i'm wrong, i've missed out on nothing. i don't really go out of my way for anything, you know?
