Ill pretend to be a religious person

RE: Ill pretend to be a religious person
^ Among other things...

Rwandrall Wrote:Religion relies on faith, and faith is irrational and illogical. So in this aspect, religion is incompatible with religion.

Religion does not necessarily rely on faith... it could so easily rely on fear, regret, guilt, happiness, insanity, tradition, etc... why would it necessarily rely on faith?

Pretty large assumption about faith... clearly you're defining it differently than I am. If you have defined faith as a 'belief without logical support'... then it is stating the obvious that 'faith' is not logical. But that does not mean that many people have 'faith' as you have defined it.

How would religion be 'incompatible?' with itself? That made no sense to me... perhaps you could rephrase?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
