Default Re: What's your religion and why?

Richard Dawkins is great to read. But I don't think that anyone should evangelize any religion (or lack thereof) as much as he wants people to evangelize atheism. People have a right to believe what they want. If anyone asks me about my religious beliefs I'll tell them, and if they seem willing to debate, I'll try to convince them that I'm right, while letting them try to convince me they're right. With every conversation my thoughts on the matter change. I grow intellectually and morally, and I hope the person discussing with me grows intellectually and morally, and perhaps spiritually. If I've changed some minds, great!

The kind of evangelism that Richard Dawkins pushes is no different from the kind of evangelism Pat Robertson pushes, and both are nothing but a cancer on our intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth.
