And which number would that be. Hordes of Christians, Muslims, Nazis, Cossacks and more have yet to kill us. Time has yet to erase us. We're still here, we're still raising our children in the faith, still existing and to a large point, still growing. Yes, there are those who follow less stringent versions of the faith and those who have left it but that does not erase the fact that we're still here. Somewhere around the time we colonize Andromeda the same argument will be made and the Jewish engineer with his family will laugh. :) > >>The history of world religions show many that have been around for > thousands of years with > >>few changes. > > Yes, but I wonder if the percentage of the population that belives in them > AND are active members is on the decline? India. Nothing else needs to be said. Your argument is that faith is foreign to humanity and will be shed when we are 'enlightened' with scientific civilization. Has yet to happen and I think never well. Faith is part and parcel of the human condition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
