A suffering child of today could result in a web that ultimately saves the lives of millions tomorrow. But we will never know, as is the way it's intended thus promoting faith in that which we may not fully understand.

"Faith" is a crock of shit too. Let's assume that I believe in God for a moment:
God is NOT a God of faith. And faith is the cornerstone of Christian belief. How can I say that God isn't a God of faith? By looking at his creation. All of existence is very Scientific. We can predict, quite accurately, the exact location of the earth in relationship to the sun 10 years from now. We have doctors and scientists that make incredible breakthroughs on an almost daily basis. We're learning SO much... yet NONE of it is based on faith... it is based on science. If there is a God, he is a God of FACTS and FIGURES. Men, not God, made up both religion in general, and the Bible in particular. For some men, it was a way to control people and instill fear. For others, they honestly believed what they'd written. But doesn't it strike you as a little odd that a book that claims that the Jews are God's chosen people happens to be written by (drum roll please) Jews? And where is the proof of the truth of the Bible? There IS none.
