Getting rid of preconceived ideas!

The discussion that I propose through this blog is not about what one DOESN'T believe but rather about what one BELIEVES. I am speaking as a former atheist. The slogan that I used to have in those days was, "I don't believe that God exists!" I'm pretty sure that you guys use the same slogan. The problem with this slogan is that it creates a false premise: the premise that the debate, the discussion, the polemics, the contradiction is between reality and superstition; between concrete and abstract; between rational and irrational; between science and religion. FALSE!! Unless one of us possesses the totality of knowledge that is in the UNIVERSE, you BELIEVE that God does not exist and I BELIEVE that God exists. The debate is BETWEEN FAITHS. Therefore we all have arguments for what we BELIEVE and through this blog, with the little eloquence and humor that God gave me, I hope to be able to share mine with you. I encourage you to examine them with an open mind and if any of the things I say offend you, well, that was not my intention. Don't take it personally. I also encourage you to place comments (with the due censoring) and if you desire to further converse with me you can use the email address I posted in the side bar.
Until next time yours truly,
Razvan
