Comments on: Crisis of Faith http://patchwolf.com/2009/02/09/crisis-of-faith/ a man's blog about atheism, politics, masculism, and a zombie or two Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:07:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: joe http://patchwolf.com/2009/02/09/crisis-of-faith/comment-page-1/#comment-2 joe Thu, 12 Feb 2009 15:23:01 +0000 http://patchwolf.com/?p=9#comment-2 I agree here. the bible has always been about controlling people be they privative tribes being held together by a collection of educated priests or modern people who the church wants to keep in line with their morality. that is not to say that it's malicious. I'm sure that most priests and clergy believe that what they do is for the best. But that they believe it's good doesn't make it so. I had a similar crisis of faith and I'm glad to say that I returned to mine, though in all fairness, we are a different sort of faith and there is no playing on fears. but I have often been close to atheism. And were it not for my personal experiences with religion, I'd likely be an atheist now.
