Subject: RE: BS: Science and Religion
Actually, that's what's generally the case, Rig. Some people have faith that there is a God. Others, like yourself, have faith that there is NO God. In both cases that's pure faith, not backed up by any conclusive evidence. Still others don't fit into either of those 2 categories of faith, but everyone has faith in something all their own. Stay around them for a bit, observe their behaviour, and you will find out what they have faith in.

Most people, for example, have a simply tremendous faith in the value and power of money, and they'll do really bizarre things now and then on the strength of that faith.

Others have a tremedous faith in some political party they support. I regard that as one of the most foolish forms of faith possible, and it's led whole nations into utter catastrophe.
