I need advice- my problem stems from my utter contempt for religious 'faith'; that willful rejection of logic, reason and common sense in favour of total absurdity (aka The Bible).
That this ludicrous work of fiction is the foundation of a worldwide belief system is SO depressing; understandable for those unfortunates with no access to education but unforgivable for the millions who knowingly allow others to tell them what to believe. Is it laziness, fear of the unknown or just plain stupidity?
Anyway, to get to the point- I would like NOT to be aggressive, NOT to feel compelled to confront religiosity but find it impossible in the face of the irrational nonsense trotted out by smug christians; debating calmly is not possible when one party will not accept fact over superstition; when seemingly intelligent people refuse to use their brains.
Any suggestions?[/size][/font]
