Hehe I chuckled... "Speak your mind about what you believe! Also, shut up about what you believe!"

Now you just sound stupid.

Seeing as what you wrote was stupid, you're not really in the best position to judge really.

You wrote exactly what I was implying using different words to make it sound original, and then turned it around on me.

Uh ... yes? I'm glad that you are perceptive enough to realise I was using your own foolish statements against you.

If you want to understand something you have to go one step further than everyone else. Your rationalism is rational until it is rational beyond rational.

Atheism is just one step above exclusivist religion.

But one step above exclusivist religion is not very far.

If you move one step further then religion becomes real again, except with a new perspective. You see across the lines of divided religions, into the fundamental meaning. The real purpose is all the same.

And if you move one step further than that you may give up religion again, and live only by faith in God or the Guru (Christ for Christians).

Just my current thoughts.

More like you keep going back and forth, never leaving your original place...

In a way yes! Except perspective is everything in this case. You arent quite going back and forth, you are doing this!

I agree a lot with what's stated above. And shit, maybe next week... I won't. But it's the ability to see things from other points of view and occasionally change your position (hmm, maybe I'm not always right?) that sets one apart from closed minds.

Kinda off-topic, but some would call it sitting on the fence xD

No, not really...

it's sitting on the fence minus the whole apathy part.

Dave, it's fascinating material and debate is fun. Why are YOU in here? All it does is make you want to play dodgeball and whine. This is a RELIGION FORUM. Do you show up on soccer fields and run away from the ball while you bitch that the other team is playing soccer?

I would call it indecision, or lack of faith in your beliefs. In fact, the very way and things you speak demonstrate that.

But oh well...
