“Not all followers of Jesus are religious. ” If you mean you are inspired by the character of Jesus than are there Gandhists or Martin Luther King-ites in the world? If you call yourself a follower of Jesus it is pretty much assumed that you believe him to be the son of GOD and more than a mortal man. By religion I mean any belief system not derived from scientific observation and testing. Superstition, myth, fable, etc…

” What books have you ever come into contact with that didn’t have some contradictions” Math, physics, astronomy, bio-chemistry, all sorts of book are completely rational. I really enjoy the LORD OF THE RINGS series, but like the Bible I could never take them as real.

“So, with militant “non-theists like” yourself, we are sure to have some great engagements.” Militant? Who said anything about violence?

Yeah, those pesky laws or rules of physics are “crazy.”  I don’t even know what you are talking about here. Laws of physics are observable fact, not written in some magical book.

“everything is corruptible and hard to understand” Here is a perfect example of a rule you have made up that is pure opinion and has no actual reality.    

The scientific method, for instance, was corrupted by the Nazis, wasn’t it? Um… no. The Nazi ruled German government made many scientific breakthroughs, but they mixed it with a cult like mentality to do horrible things. NAZISM is a religion like any other. They had a GOD, his name was Hitler. I advocate free thinking, and no one can claim the Nazi party members did that.

The point is, I guess, trust is why I follow in the way of Jesus.  Who do you trust? Trusting in a magical being may make you feel better. Believing in Heaven may make dying easier for some. None of that makes it REAL though.
