About this Author

Jo Potocki helps pro choice movements.

If you've started looking at the faith to which you belong with logic and reason, you've probably got some questions that your religion simply can't answer.
No religion can stand up to questions that demand factual answers. Religion is brittle and fragile under logical scrutiny.
That's why religion requires faith not facts.
Look up the actual definition of faith. In the context of religion, faith is the suspension of logic to believe something without proof. Just think about that.

That's why "Because it's in the Bible" or "God works in mysterious ways" is often the answer you'll get. But those aren't facts are they?

Richard Dawkins has done an impressive video from his book, "The God Delusion" (an excellent book by the way) and I highly recommend watching it.
The very definition of faith is the complete trust in someone or something based simply on your own belief, rather than proof. I like evidence, I like facts. So does Richard Dawkins. Check out this informative video!

JoLynn, I watched this video with the most open thought provoking mind I could. Wow, Very well done and very well said. This video gave me so much to think about. I will watch it again. I feel the walls of fear, rejection, and self hate coming down because of this eye opening video. I am feeling the chains of religion starting to break. Thank you, your grateful friend, Pat

@Pat I love Dawkins and he asks some wonderful questions. I think religion is fine as long as someone isn't confined through fear and controlled by it.
