Default Random thoughts on religion:

How many people believe that the Bible is the word of God? To those who do, where does it say anything about a singularity that exploded?

For a long time religious people ridiculed the Big Bang Theory. Now, slowly, some seek to claim it as their own, as God's creation. Talk about wanting to have it both ways.

It seems like what it boils down to, for many, is moral relativism. There's no right religion or wrong religion, it's all good as long as you express it with warmth and conviction.

Religious freedom and its moral relativism is great as long as your favorite religion is in the majority. But how would we feel if those of the Muslim faith became the majority and started to implement Sharia law? There are Christians who say our right to freedom comes from God. If that's the case, then Muslims can change that right based on their particular faith.

Just food for thought.
