Do you really need to take a test before you believe that you have a brain?
By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. I've seen too much religion in the eyes of murderers.

Some philosophies (I've forgotten the name at the moment) postulate that there is nothing other than the self. How can you prove that what your senses show you is real, and that everything isn't just something made up by your own subconscious?By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God.

That sounds eerily like judging religion by it's followers, regardless of whether or not they are actually doing as their religion says they should.
I believe this to be true for all religions, not just Christianity.
I might die someday and meet this short dude/chick with a white beard/*some compliment about a female which I won't explicilty mention to prevent from insulting anyone* who simply looks at me and says "O really?"
But that is not what I believe
Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is the right action and good intentions and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not.
Very good obeservation, I consider myself a Christian, although the church might not agree with my opinion.

Churches in the past fully supported crusades and inquisitions. As long as you follow the Bible, you're a Christian.What God desires is the right action and good intentions and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not.
This quote makes me ask, do you think that good actions alone will get you into heaven?
What about somone who genuinely believes that God gave him a mind in order that he might think for himself rather than be a mindless sheep?
