...and I would like to thank RabidRobot, Adamness, Starkers, Scorpio, Kona, EventHorizon and the others for a very engaging debate / discussion. Nice to know it can be done without underhanded ad hominem abusives.

Peace We can agree to disagree about Christianity / existence of God / life. But I think, as Adamness said, there should be seperation between government and religion, giving us the freedom to worship as we wish. Rock on!!

Just for the record, is it foolish to try to prove there is or isn't a God. As I said, religion and spirituality is about faith and beliefs, not logic and proof. Well said.

I don't think it's fair to think the only way people will be good, and know the difference of good and bad, is for them to be told. At a certain age, children know the difference between good and bad, much sooner than they can fully comprehend religion. CS Lewis was the author of the movie currently

A number of posters have tried to use logic as a defense for religious beliefs. While I feel even the examples in this thread are themselves flawed, I would like to point out a couple larger issues with logic and faith. My argument using logic was based on relative morality, and that if you grant the
