That is an interesting statement. I do believe in God, just not organized religion. Granted that does take faith over hard cold facts.
There is certainly no getting around that. the question becomes, just because something requires faith over fact, does that make it inherently wrong?
It is easy to argue either side of that question. Many people come to the conclusion of "show me, or I dont believe it". There is nothing wrong with that. Other people feel as if the derive a "knowing" internally, something that can not be proven, but can definitely be felt. There is nothing wrong with that either.
Given that there is no way to absolutely know, how can one be absolutely sure? The answer is you cant, and either answer is respectable as long as it is practiced with tolerance and respect for others opinions. Something that we all are guilty of not practicing
