At the same time there is a morality to it all. You don't need to be religious to be moral, and I probaby have longer debates at the end of the day with those street corner guys than you do, but I'll never take away anything from anyone just trying to make the world a better place. There are some very bad, and down and out people out there. Some of them continue to to bad things, some find peace in religion. It may be a crutch for some of the low-lifes who only find God after they've hit rock bottom, but I'd rather they be in church or on the corner handing out bibles than on the streets comitting violent crimes and what not. The point is that I'm sure some of those people out there on friday night have really had an experience where they really turned someone's life around by meeting them on the street the way they did (I don't mean the one meeting on the street but that would have been the starting point), and there is a something great about really helping someone out that makes a lot of people not have anything more fun to do on a Friday night.

We don't know, but that's what people call faith.

man i dont believe i have to go to church just to prove to god that i worship/love him..man same goes with other religions as well. God is omnipotent, correct? So he knows if im good or bad, and whether i appreciate my surroundings and not take them for granted, and if i also care about people in worse situations. See, im happy i was given a good moral background and logic, yet other people might need a church if they dont have the will power or strength to make decisions, so i dont see it as a something stupid, there is a purpose, yet i know i dont need it in my life if i know the difference between good and bad.
As for religion, same thing goes, i believe its still good to learn about the New Testament, Old Testament and Koran and various other religious doctrines, but its not a ticket to heaven, your actions are the ticket to heaven, these books just guide if you (if you filter some of the crap through it and also understand the logic behind it) need help in life. If you constantly perfect yourself morally day by day and bettering yourself, then you dont need these books because more good is comin out of you than it will be from these books.
I don't feel the need to criticize people who follow a religion, cause its there choice, and if i see them as a good person then im happy for them and respect their choices cause its working.
