Sitting there for hours listening to someone go on about something you don't think is true...<br /><br />I'd rather people feel fulfilled, emotionally, spiritually, however you want to put it, than agree with me on some big overall thing. We've only got a limited time on this earth, and when it's up we get all the answers. Until then, I don't much care what your guess is. I just care that you don't insult people who guess differently.Steelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-59222883455980887252012-05-31T17:20:42.585-05:002012-05-31T17:20:42.585-05:00The third comment was a different anonymous than t...The third comment was a different anonymous than the first comment.

I don't see what meaning religion has that can't be found in the secular world, but that's . . . you know, maybe part of why I'm athiest? I understand that my experience isn't true for everyone, but it's difficult to understand. But it's the same part that just doesn't understand why people do not find microbiology the most exciting thing EVER: you accept that some people would just rather wade through Hegel, admire the folks who are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of biochemistry so you can do your experiments on awesome stuff, and move on with doing what feeds your soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-8179061405142236502012-05-31T13:49:19.090-05:002012-05-31T13:49:19.090-05:00Correction: I can't see that all religion inhe...Correction: I can't see that <em>all</em> religion <em>inherently</em> encourages people to do things that are harmful. <br /><br />You can't see that some religion encourages people to do things that are good and helpful?
