I see nothing wrong with this topic Merlin, and I am not too religious. :)

I'm sorry I had to comment on this. Look, I respect your right to live your life and believe what you will, but if your religion made logical sense then we would not have totally different faiths, and non-believers Vicchio.
It is logical to me that people, who feel the need for "purpose" and who fear death would construct a reassurance for themselves and their children that they will not just be dust when they die. God explains what we cannot. He is the filler for our failure to conceptualize how something came from nothing. There could indeed be a God, who knows, but it does not make "logical sense" lol.
Also, God in the institutional form is a good way to keep the have-nots content with their position (as they fear stealing, killing, etc). You see, without this idea that an immortal being who controls your access to the afterlife we would likely have more people who would simply not give a damn about killing, robbing, etc. God is the untouchable enforcer. It makes sense. I think it is necessary, but it once again does not make God's existence "logical".
Your faith is great if you actually use it to make your purpose in life doing something Jesus would (I have never heard you say turn the other cheek), but it is not a logical faith by any means. It is logical WHY you have faith, but God's existence is not a closed book sir.
