Repeat after me: dogma is bad.

no way. dogma is great. i especially like the part where matt damon whacks all those mooby execs.
one thing i have noticed recently is christians blatantly ignoring obvious scientific facts so they can be 'right'. i personally believe God exists, and his existence *can* be reconciled to science, without ignoring the facts. note i said reconciled, not proved.
things the scientific community 'knew' 100 years ago we know to be false today. in another 100 years will know certain things we know today to be false. its the way of things, we learn more everyday and sometimes newfound knowledge turns established knowledge on its ear. anyone claiming to have proof of God's nonexistence has proof of a holy crusade just as fucked up as the religious nutjobs noted in the previous paragraph.
the problem with Gods [non]existence is that given his/her nature, it cannot and will not ever be proven. all believers point to their own evidence, but it always boils down to faith. the evidence presented is to reconcile belief to a nonbeliever, but the faith is what matters.
someone once told me that humankind is a race that needs to have faith. regardless of what they believe in, everyone believes in something. those who do not worship any God or affiliate themselves with any religion have faith and take comfort in the lack a higher power. those arent quite the right words, but you get the idea.
