My name is Paul. You can call me whatever you want. I have a lot of nicknames and nicknames don't bother me. I don't think I really need to put a whole lot of info about me here. If you want to know something about me: message me your question and if I feel like answering it I will and if I don't I'll tell you I don't feel like answering it.
Well I read this in Time Magazine and I really agree with it. It's how I've been feeling about religion for quite some time now.
Both the faithful and the atheists need to keep in mind the difference between belief and certainty. It is possible to believe there is a god or that no deity exists, but this is not the same as being certain. There is much about the origin and scope of the universe that we may never know for certain. I have no problem with any religion as long as it remains about belief rather than absolute certainty. Belief is compatible with respect and tolerance for other beliefs. Certainty is an arrogance that leads to intolerance, disrespect and, all too often, terror and war.
