I have lost faith

Post by Rob » Tue Oct 12, 2010 6:46 pm

in religious people. I no longer am able to stomach creationists. The moment someone talks about biblical literalism, people living 500 years or Noah's ark being a fact I just turn around, stop talking to them and considering that person idiotic and deluded. I just don't care anymore to talk to people like that. I even recognize the arrogance that comes with saying this but I simply don't have the will power to put up with them anymore and just find it a waste of my time.

Anyhow, anyone else feel this way or am I being egotistical?
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

I've always felt that way. Others fight the good fight - I can't be bothered inflating my blood pressure that way. :dono:

Bravo rob, taking a practical approach to creotards... not as efficient as killing them right off the bat, but ùore conducive to a vaguely harmonious society.

:ask: Are they really the only ones who you've lost faith in?

I can think of a few more..
In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial
