> I would say more, because I thought of things to say all the way through reading the original post. The one thing stopping me, though, is that most of them were religious in nature-- not saying "you're wrong because my religion says this" but rather "that concept is one which I explain in this way because of my religion". If you're interested in hearing that sort of discussion, I would be glad to post it.

This serves as something of an answer to Grishny's post - I reject religion simply because of its base "everyone else is wrong" idea. Now I admit some religions, including I think Ba'hai, actually accept the existence of other faith, but these are few and far between. And I simply cannot accept the idea of a supreme being or a heavenly state - they simply wreck my entire manner of thinking.

I have a lot more to say about this. However, as religion causes a base difference in people's thought patterns, I feel it's an unfitting subject for discussion here in the RinkForum. Sorry. Religious differences are inherently inreconcilable, and I don't want to start an argument.

So this is my last word on religion.
