"Faith"

So, I've been reading through some of the hundreds of "prove to me that God is real" threads, and based off the majority of Christian comments, I've come to a conclusion: Pretty much the only reason people believe in God is "faith". I'd just like to remind everyone that faith is the deliberate suppression of critical thinking skills. What kind of God would give humans such intricate brains, then tell us not to use our critical thinking and reasoning skills, things that separate us from most other animals? We shouldn't have to ignore science, or go against our intuitions just to be able to believe in God, and subsequently go to heaven. Purse, out.

  • Religion is an outlet for people that are scared of death and the future, and they want quick answers, to help themselves stay sane (which is ironic), and answer questions modern science(s) cannot. But modern science is slowly answering the questions we didn't have answers to thousands of years ago. And the people who can't let go of their religion use "Faith" to justify that they are right vs modern science, that uses facts, formulas, equations, and observations to prove and look into things.
