Well,it is partially true.I believe,but I also ask many questions about God.I think that u have u find a balance between what u believe in and the way u think,u perceive things.There are some things that are beyond us and we have to accept that.Religion teaches us not to question,only to believe.I can't do that.Maybe others consider this a sin,but this is the way I feel and I can't and will not change my point of view.Nice question.

ok the question is quite logical and so many people believe that the qut is rit
ok the qut is rit becouse (let me explain by an example) when ever u think of some thing new u relate or try to relate that thing with some other thing which u alrady know so-that u may save time but one thing is if not new then u choose alldata u knew about and that is what clled ur belief and so u do not try to think becouse u always want to save time but if any of ur data was wrong then u will be knowing
that is y i think u and any body else not believ in any thing but to check it out so that u can save more time

That's about right. Belief requires blind faith, not logic. A small child has blind faith and there's nothing wrong with that. But when that child keeps blind faith into adulthood, he stays a child. It's interesting that when it comes to anything other than religion, such a condition is referred to as mental retardation. Unlike mental retardation, this is completely a person's choice. It's sad. Thinking feels great--more people need to try it.

Eh, I disagree. I believe in a lot, but I refuse to believe blindly. The more I add on to the belief system, the more I have to think about how it can be compatible. I so never applied Occam's razor to my belief system...
However, it is very true if what you believe in requires blind belief.

Great quote ... i love it.
That's why i try to think before i believe ... and that's why i believe in what i believe ... because it seems logical to my poor little mind ...
Atheists will take this quote and make it a weapon against believers ..lol
But this quote does not mean you should not believe ...

Right.
Belief obscures vision.
Less vision less wisdom,more stupidity.
Great.
I hope you have a good vision.
