Let's all go to the Reason Rally and get rid of all those evil,non-thinking, reasons for a belief in God. Dawkins says we should, even if we have found a reason to suspect there is a God. He says there can't be a God. It is unreasonable, but why do so many folks find a reason to believe?

> You see, he hasn't said anything except science works to explain things that might be misunderstood. Science cannot disprove God, any more than prove God. And the individual is allowed to choose his own faith: theism or atheism, or be a fence sitter like dhw.-The more I think about it, the more I think that "fence-sitting" is a bad metaphor. -Sitting on a fence means that there are really two *different* sides: and if your assertion is that both are based on faith, then the distinction is false. There's either faith, or no faith.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
