Fair enough Vasky, but can I then conclude you'd rather have people "believe in God" for whatever reason they can think up, even if it's such a selfish one? Rather that than have them be true to themselves?
If someone really cannot find a ground for faith in their hearts, like Epona for instance, they cannot force one out of "logical" reasoning like: Hell, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, why shouldn't I believe in God??
I just don't think it works that way. Faith has to be a logical conclusion to all you feel... you cannot just decide it, ESPECIALLY if you can find no other reasons to believe than *insert your first post*.
The reason you mention, IMO, is just not a solid basis for true Faith as far as I can tell.[/QUOTE]Of course *post on page 1* is not a solid basis. It's supposed to be a thought provoker I guess I should be more clear. However I think argument on *post on page 3* are a good basis. I don't believe in blind faith. Well maybe a tiny bit of it, just cos of the better odds, you know?
