First fo all, I want to say that I am in no way condemning anyone's faith, I think that believing in God is great for anyone that does, just asking a few simple questions.
To all you devout Christians out there, how do you know God exists? And before you just say, because the Bible says so, think about it for a second. How do you know the Bible is true? Because someone told you it is? And how do you know that person is telling the truth, or has any idea whether it is or not? Seriously, think about it, a whole religion based upon pure blind faith. People say that it is good and pure to have faith, but why is it good to mindlessly accept whatever someone tells you.
I don't know about anyone else, but I sure wouldn't want to be following a religion and a god that puts mindless obedience over all else.
Before everyone starts flaming me about knowing nothing about Christianity, I've grown up in a Catholic family, gone to Catholic schools, and done all that for the majority of my life, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what that faith is.
