Yes, reason has moved my thinking in a direction that appreciates some of the metaphorical aspects of religion, but quite skeptical about the efficacy of organized religion; and comfortable existing without a god-driven deterministic universe....I thought you claimed that it is your ability to reason that keeps you and many others away from organised religion. -Evinnra
The real point I was trying to make was that a great many, in my view -the majority-, of those who subscribe to organized religious systems are not willing to do the work of exploring all the possible options, including not believing in supernatural creation. As I said before, in the case of many (definitely you, Evinnra) who migrate here, this is not so. For instance, in the Islamic traditions, to question god is punishable by death...no quarter.
It is not my place to judge it either way I guess, but I do think there is something to be said for considering all sides to a proposition. Blind faith, in my view, is just that...blind.
