    I believe in God, but the concept of organized religion is fucking dumb, and there isn't a single thing anyone could ever say to convince me otherwise. Creationism and evolution can work together....a creator laid the foundation, and the devil magic we know as scientific laws took over and gave us what we have today. Seems really simple to understand in my opinion.

    dumb or not, organized religion is no different that organized government, or this forum full of organized car enthusiasts. You are entitled to your opinion, but lets not be blind to the fact that we ALL subscribe to a collective thought in some sense. You either go to work, pay your bills, pay your taxes, vote for your politician, or drive your favorite care make. We ALL do it.

    Just like some people in organized religion forget that their faith is grounded in something (their book or their experiences) people in politics, people on this forum, people at your job, will forget that what they are there for is somethings specific. That doesn't mean that gov't is bad, it doesn't mean this forum is bad, it doesn't mean the concept is dumb, it means the people who are forgetting and misguiding the purpose for such things are.

    I believe the Bible. I believe that most of us, myself included, can find ourselves missing the point most of the time. I would shutter at the thought of trying to explain to God that "I did it right and those other people didn't". My organized religious belief is what tells me to not rush to judge because I am just as guilty of that as the next guy.
    "Their [the new atheists] treatment of the religious viewpoint is pathetic to the point of non-being. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course. Proudly he criticizes that whereof he knows nothing... I am indignant at the poor quality of the argumentation in Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, and all of the others in that group."
