*sigh* Whatever.
I'm not a big fan of the Catholic church at all, but I'm not at the other extreme either. Religion has its place, but I'm more about the personal spirituality aspect than anything else. Religion itself is hollow, it is only the spiritual connection that people make and whatever enlightenment they can gain from it that really matters.
My point is, don't bash the spiritual faith of people, or your just as guilty as those who would force their religion on you. Some people actually have good reason for believing in some sort of deity. I am as strong a follower of science as anyone, yet I don't allow it to blind me to the greater realities of what may be beyond. I believe in science. I also believe in God. My definition of God anyways. Not necessarily yours. In either case, I have my reasons for believing in a reality beyond this one. I wouldn't be so arrogant as to claim to know exactly what that looks like, but I believe it is there.
Does that make me a nut? Oh, well.
