If you think being a devotee of religion and that faith is easy, you probably are among those whose religious education ended around age 13 and therefore think religion is facile. You would say people like Kant are dumbasses who are lead around by the nose by bigger dumbasses? That's a self-gratifyingly simple appraisal of religion. Faith? Like faith in gravity? Faith in human decency? Or faith that what you believe is right? Even Athiests have the faith that there is no God or god and work every manifestation to fit their faith. Show me anyone who does not have a lot of faith, outside psychotic paranoids off meds. [ Edited by: Swanky on 2002-10-03 07:46 ]
