Why would faith really be in ancient texts?

Dunno, because they contain instructions on how express one's faith?Comment

You're very naive or deliberately obtuse. People have faith in what they were taught, not what they read. They were taught material rules, not "believe in this book"Comment

People have faith in what they have experienced.

I meant faith as in faith in things beyond the empirical in general. If you were to destroy Christianity tomorrow, it would only be a matter of time before Jesus got replaced by something else. It could be Marduk, Ahura-Mazda or the warlord Xenu, but something would come along. If the idea of believing in God or reincarnation or whatever is made too great an object of ridicule, people will channel their faith into Communism or another such "scientific" ideology instead. I thought this was all obvious.Comment

How sweet of you to mention me AGAIN, Dregs, and without me even having to ask.
One day I must get around to thinking about you, but unfortunately more important things, such as cleaning the lavatory, trimming my toenails and feeding the cat, keep getting in the way.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

What Jon said. I don't know Europe so I can't say. I imagine they have a lot of active nutjob political parties in the C.R., much like the rest of Europe? I could ask my cousin's husband, he's a Czech, but he lives far away and he's busy...Originally posted by Sandman
