Well, of cours,e here we come into having to define what a "religion" is, and what makes a religion to be an independent religion or just a subset of a mayor one. Now, probably is true, as it appears that you know much about the bible, that in james 1:27 of the bible it says there is only one christian religion. But also in the Harry Potter books it says that there is a complete magical world of which we are nto aware of. But does this mean that I shoul dbelieve it? Should I go around believing that some of the people with whom I talk, are actually wizards and whiches, and could destroy me in planck's time? NO. At least, for a logical, rational and analytical mind which is mine, I can't. And anyway, things change. What was writen in that book was written 2000 years ago. And then, the christian religion was still very small, it hadn't began to grow. When things grow, because of it's magnitude, they devide into parts. And so it happens that the way in which spanish catholic chrsitians believe in god can differ a really a lot with the way in which north-american protestans do.

What!? But it's YOU who are assuming what you've learned is true. Since I became atheist I am waiting for someone to make me believe. This is what I do in every subject. You can ask the rest of the forums, dleviwing, antoniolao, subversion.....any, and they will all agree that I have no strict doctrines on my knowledges or beliefs: Yesterday I could say that the mind doesn' exist, today I might defend that the body exists because the mind, and tomorrow I will be saying that neither exists.

This isn't completely true, but kind of. And yes, I have seen the goodness of god, of religion. I believed in it all.
I can see, I'm not blinded anymore b that light which is so bright upon those, those who, for the fact that they cannot see, cannot think, and for the fact that they are blind, will never be able to walk through the correct door.
