I had a big huge post all planned, but it lost wind and now it's just this. I've been thinking about Christianity recently.

I've come to terms with the fact that most people misinterpret faith, and most other people misinterpret science. My faith, being a faith, does not require sound scientific proof. Otherwise it wouldn't be called a faith. It might seem a bit off to some people, but that's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

So I don't get people who a) try to disprove God by citing a lack of proof, or b) try to preserve their faith by ignoring science.

I have never read the Bible, despite being Christian. The Bible didn't fall from the sky, though. It was written and copied and compiled and edited, and books were added and removed and probably lost, I'd imagine. The books of the Bible are a small group's interpretation of events, and what they considered to be the word of God. (Taking a very view of the authors)

So there's that. Turns out that when I wrote them down, all of the conflicts vanished. Huh.
