majority of the congregation seems to. Blind faith ("dogma" I suppose)
seems to work at keeping people ignorant rather than intelligent. I say
intelligent because of the very arguments in these recent threads. Many
times I have argued with "unbelievers" and said that Chrisianity was a
matter of faith, that it doesn't make sense without faith. You either
believe it or you don't. Little did I know just how much I myself really
didn't know.
"The more i know, the more I know I don't know"... and all that...
I am comming to realize that i can in fact still believe in an all powerful
God, just not as the Bible dictates that I should.
