I just learned that if someone wants to believe, as long as they don't try to force me to believe too, it's their right and if it makes them happy all the better. I also learned there's no point in arguing with them because it always comes down to a question of faith, and there's no counter-argument to faith.

On second thought, I can't really I don't believe, I just don't know... I guess I'm an agnostic then. Even stuff that happened in the Bible, all of it is easily explainable in scientific terms. I saw a documentary on TV that explained each of Egypt's 10 plagues, it fascinating. I saw aother show talking about plants, and Moses's burning bush is a naturally occurring phenomenon because the sap in this species becomes highly flammable (similar to pine sap) and sometimes all it takes is a spark for it to light up.

In the end, I simply believe it's a matter of need. If a traumatic event scars you emotionally, you might need the comfort of religion to help you cope with it. Or you might not.

God, Allah, Yahweh, Zeus, you know what these words all have in common? They all simply mean 'god', no more, no less.
I really like what you said dude. You worded it perfectly.
