I have attended catholic schools k-12. Christianity; the notions heaven and hell, our lord almighty, the ten commandments, were pumped into my head as a child. I thought about it, and believed, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be taken seriously. I would be the outcast. I soon enough got to college and learned to critically think. To take numerous different opinions, theories, or beliefs and to criticize, judge, and determine which one favors logic, rationality, and truth. Science is not the absolute answer, but rather a means for the search of truth. It teaches one to look at evidence before believing in a notion. Faith is unreason, irrational, illogical, and bullshit. To proportion one's beliefs to evidence should be the golden rule.
I have studied intelligent design, and it's bullshit.
