Where I grew up it was considered kind of inappropriate to be too outspoken about one's religious beliefs, and when it was discussed, it was generally in an intellectual kind of way. As a result I had a very live-and-let-live, nobody-knows-for-sure attitude toward religion. It wasn't until I moved around the country a bit and started running into more and more pushy religious people that I started to develop more of a you-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about, leave-me-the-hell-alone position.

I believe in facts.
I'm not an expert but the things I know and have heard about religions just don't make sense to me. I don't see how it's possible for a supposedly all-knowing, all-powerful being to be as human as depicted by religion(s). A god completely outside of any known religion seems more plausible, though I still have my doubts. |
OK I just now happened to be watching "The God Who Wasn't There" on Netflix
At 34 minutes they start talking about the "Rapture". They interview a guy named Scott Butcher, who goes on to mention that he started this website, "upon inspiration by God (I believe)" Rapture Letters Quote:

Was brought up as a Christian, went to church on Sundays and all that. Got to about 16/17 and started to think it was nonsense. |
I think Christianity is basically nonsense. I would have nothing against religions, if they even,followed their own rules but many Christian people I know don't even know what is a thing called love. They just talk about their rules and talk about sins, but not much more. Sounds like a boring life.
I don't need any religions personally, at least not in that part of my life. But everyone is free to believe in whatever he wants as long as he/she won't hurt anyone, you know. |

Thus all knowledge, all facts, are nowt but subjective experiences. All we can ever do is explain how things seem to us because any description of something that fails to include the instrument used to take the measurement is incomplete. Everything is a transaction, an interaction. Our senses, our brains, they filter and colour information, and yes it's a cliche, but we all create the reality we experience. Little wonder people believe in Gods, and I say let them, we all put our faith in illusions because reality is an illusion. |
