(September 2, 2010 at 1:10 pm)Paul the Human Wrote: It's called 'life long indoctrination'. Allow yourself to break free from superstition and free your mind. Why hold on to childish delusions when freedom of thought is right there for the taking? Come on... you know you doubt those silly stories you've been told. Don't be blinded by the light. Turn away and see the truth revealed.
Quote:If we had opened our eyes to the light under the shadows
of St. Peter's at Rome, we should have been devout Catholics; born in the
Jewish quarter of Aleppo, we should have contemned Christ as an
imposter; in Constantinople, we should have cried "Allah il Allah, God is
great and Mahomet is his prophet!" Birth, place, and education give us our
faith. Few believe in any religion because they have examined the
evidences of its authenticity, and made up a formal judgment, upon
weighing the testimony. Not one man in ten thousand knows anything
about the proofs of his faith. We believe what we are taught; and those are
most fanatical who know least of the evidences on which their creed is
based.
