I spend enough time fighting the big religion machine as a gay man without bringing up the question of god, or intelligent design (still the biggest oxymoron I’ve heard to date), and it all comes down to faith, for them.
I can relate all the empirical experience and knowledge I want and no matter what I say, someone who has never really read the bible will quote it and say I am wrong and that’s all they need to know. Because what I do looks like faith to them.
As long as we stick to our guns and not bother celebrating our lack of faith, we don’t fall into the cult trap. We don’t really to celebrate our lack of faith, knowledge needs no celebration.
