: discussion below...(fantastic thread, by the way Isis...thank you for bringing some intellectual debate to board and drawing Mr. Smith out of the woodwork) I thought I'd throw out my own question.
: If you are religious, is your faith based upon your actual thoughts and/or feelings about the religion (did you research the faith, etc.), or were you just brought up a certain way and feel the need to continue on the path outlined by your family (or whatever influential party "raised" you)?
~~ I was raised Church of England.
I then became an scientist and was taught to think for myself.
Now I have my own ideas... Yeah - I can believe in 'faith' (no, not my usual mmmmmmmm, Faith!) I can believe in universal connectivity, purpose in life, ongoing residual energies, stuff...
