Reply #159: Why throw it out?

It comforts me...it helps me create and be part of positive communities...in my gut it feels right.

I'm not confusing anything.

I can show you in books in my public library many understandings of "good, moral, wise human behavior" that were entirely secular that are awful, as I'm sure you can do with religion.

But there are positive secular communities...and positive religious communities.

For me...my faith does mostly come down to a point where I'm not ready to abandon a belief in Jesus' ascension...I really do believe it could be true. And, belief in it, does not cause me intellectual problems. My whole world does not have to be rational for it to work well.

Why not help spread the word that there are positive religious communities along with us...and help us fight the Falwells and Robertsons of the world?
