Thread Name: Extremism's theological roots
Subject: RE: Extremism's theological roots
Strange thread......I been staying out of religous/political threads lately, but I was bored and decided to read this one.

I don't see it as an "anti religous" thread at all, it seems to be an intelligent discussion.

Faith.....such a weird thing. Don't all of us, including total atheiests, have faith that tomorrow the sky will still be blue and the sun will shine? That your car will still start? That you will still be able to breathe the air? THAT is faith.

I have little true faith in anything else, especially in the Personal Beliefs category. How the crap should I REALLY know which of the Prophets (if any) were REALLY right? I'd rather belive and have faith in the supremacy of the Planet..........She has a better track record than any of the human made religions.

I absolutely refuse to believe in the infallibility of any human regarding anything. It's just not in the code. Humans are not infallible. So, I guess you could call my "religon"......Scientific Gaia-ism if that makes sense.
