You bring more light to the debate! Religion may be of faith. Faith can be a part of religion. But surely religion is not necessarily of faith. You've made the point well. ( Explicit??? )

Excellent piece Carl in form and substance.

Definitely sparked some thought in me...! Still not sure what to think.

I mean other than that it is a great poem. That much I know :)

I totally agree with you.

Always an interesting topic to me. Religion, totally flawed. It is just away of letting one man control another. Faith however... I don't understand the concept of Faith. Some, like myself, seek knowledge and proof - evidence of the divine. Others simply say, "Have faith." I think truth and knowledge replace faith unequivocally. Not just that, but the simple statement, "Have faith" to me is blind and ignorant. Searching for evidence is practiced faith, as all scientific minds have faith they can find truth. A scientist does not disregard the truth, but holds it in respect above all else. So as science and discovery search for "evidence" of God, I believe they have the greatest faith as once they can see it, they will praise it. Unfortunately most people can't just look at the stars and be satisfied that the Universe is clearly divine in it's own right. It is our feeble minds that can not comprehend God, not the lack of God, that perpetuates the debates.
