LL:Faith in what?

Richard Dawkins (renowned evangelical atheist) believes that religion and faith in a god or gods are primitive paradigms that we should shift away from in this enlightened age of reason.

I don't agree. I think that spirituality is part of being human. Why this is I don't know, though a theist will answer that it's because there is a god who wants people to know him/her. Maybe we just instinctively realise that there's more to the world than what the 5 senses perceive. I'd have to know more about the unseen, myself, to be able to speculate much further. I do think that things are connected across time and space, and maybe one day quantum physics will bear this out. Maybe not. Agnosticism is a kicker at times.

Jeanie: I meant faith in God Linda. Concerning our spirituality it, to me, is because we have spirits inside us!! I found a good article...long but worth the read through. I'll send it separate. On a side note about that - I use to have a hard time grasping the concept of having a spirit. An Uncle who was an evangelist bought me a Scofied edition of the Bible when I was 14 after I'd gone to him for answers on how to correctly interpret the Bible. I read it and did find in the foot notes a place where it stated "the spirit is the part of us that knows." To me this was profound. (That Uncle ended up dying mad at me when I joined the LDS church).
