Religion doesn't need evidence

[Angrboda]

I'm told by ChadWooters that theists struggle with the argument from the problem of evil.  I rather suspect it's not an uncommon concern among the religious.  I also rather suspect that your one dimensional characterization of the religious is also amiss.  Doubt and crises of faith are common themes for the religious.  This betrays the supposition that the religious don't concern themselves with the truth of their belief, but only its consequences.  Even if they justify their belief on the grounds that it is making them a better person, the theists I've seen on this forum aren't unconcerned with whether or not that general claim is true.  Many are just ignorant of the evidence for or against it.  I think the drive for virtue is not substantially more important to the average theist than is the truth of their belief, and with that comes a concern for evidence.

They shouldn't. At the end of the day, is the law maker responsable for what happens to the law breaker?

Say what?

Religous people (generaly speaking) fall behind in education because that's not required of them. Different prioreties. Now if i'm speaking just for christianity, it's Love god, and love your neighbor. You can go about these differant ways, i do not have a kind heart, a result of my nurturing i suppose. Hoever i am capable of wisdom. In that area i can serve god and help others in understanding.

I rather doubt your assertion that in general religious people are less motivated to educate themselves than non-religious people are. This is the type of theologically motivated assertion which most likely was pulled straight from your ass.
