That sounds suspiciously like the scientific method.

The only problem with that is you would never ever come up with a dogmatic faith group (Christianity, Judasim, etc) as an anwesr to openly posed questions of that nature.

You would only be left with two choices based on what we know now. A open and undefined god-force (open spirituality) or nothingness (atheisim). Leaving many to contemplate an alternative choice, that is to ignore those questions altogehter, and be left an agnostic.


But i certainly share in Cheese's frustration when people simultaniously think themselves logical and at the same time believe in some silly story time religious dogma that clearly no longer holds any relevance in todays world. To propose that debate is not warrented and that only thoughtful discussion and mindless Q&A will do is moronic at best.
