Maybe I shouldn't step into the spotlight with this kind of position, but here goes.
If I'm understanding him right, Brain has willfully admitted that his belief system is based on physical science only, which is a position that many people share the world over, though not by myself. There is no shortage of people right here in America who will say, "Show me God and then I'll believe." Not all such people are as adamant in convincing others the same as Brain here. However, we cannot judge him by his faith as this is where his heart leads him. His faith is different, but not necessarily evil.
As for the rest of us, many are religious by family, choice, and/or tradition. This is our faith and our choice. Faith is about believing what you want to believe, what you need to believe, and believing what is in your heart. He who doesn't follow his heart is the one who is truly lost.
This topic has, by far, run its course. The mud-slinging and religious flaming has gone quite far enough. We are all entitled to our opinions and we have our rights to express them. If you trully cannot stand to read the opinions of other members, then place them on your ignore list. This is far more respectable than replying to them to tear them down.
