Quote:They teach you shouldn't be basing your life on what you don't know but trying to attain knowledge and follow what you know.

That is the precise opposite of what religions teach. Religions are faith based,which means based on authority and dogma,rather than reason or proof. Many Christians for example actually claim[ from the pulpit] that reason is the enemy of faith.

Sorry Mystic,I think you speak New Age wankery,as is your wont. Cool Shades

PS a skeptic, I have no personal truths and seek none. I demand that all questions remain open,especially one's strongest beliefs.
