Every discussion (I use the term lightly) about religion I've ever had with a religious person has boiled down the following statement:
"Faith is about believing in something without any proof"
EXACTLY!! How rational is that? What's the point? Most importantly, how can you decide to start having 'faith'?
I should say that I have no problem with people having religion, or faith, or whatever - I don't care what anyone believes - I simply find the notion of 'faith' interesting. I could never let a blind belief in something with no evidence determine the way I act. I need reason.
I need to logically determine how I should act, and what I should think. Pawning those decisions off on 'faith' removes my mind/logic from the equation, and replaces them with the promises of another person - another person with the same blind faith, who is operating on promises of yet another person with blind faith. Do you see where I'm going with this?
People who tell me about their faith always come off as though they feel superiour because they are able to have faith.
"How sad that you aren't able to believe in what that guy told me. How I pity you".
I don't want your pity. I'm happy. I'm also happy that you're happy. Isn't it great when we're both happy - when we agree?
