Subject: RE: Can An Atheist Sing Believer Songs?
John Hardly...I sorta feel I should debate with you, but I ain't 'zactly sure what you said..

"..faith is inevitable"? hmmm??

" "religion" is not general."... I don't know what that means. I know 'not all religions are the same'...but that doesn't seem to be what you mean. IF you mean that one cannot apply a 'general' belief/attitude to *religion* in general, I think I'd have to disagree.
One can say "I believe that there IS some guiding, spiritual essence to the universe, though I haven't picked a set of rules" or one can say the opposite.."I think the Universe just is with NO sentient force behind it." You may be wrong, either way, but those are ways to 'generalize' about religion...unless I have totally missed your point...
