(1,043 posts)I reject any claim that there is a supernatural world/being because there has never been sufficient evidence to show there is one. There may be, in the same way there may be unicorns. If someone can prove it, I'll believe. I won't, however entertain nonsense without evidence. Rejecting a claim is not the same thing as saying I don't believe something.
No, never been married. I see no need to be a part of that institution but even if I did, faith would not factor into it. No kids here, either, and ditto on the faith issue. Believing something without evidence is what faith is, and it is irrational. As someone pointed out in another post, you define faith to encompass just about anything you want it to mean so I don't know what else to say.
Yes I would be able to get married or have kids without faith. Where does faith factor into anything? In a country where so many people believe the bible was a literal account of events,who believe in a world wide flood, etc., or that the troops are in Iraq "fighting for our freedom", I'd say I am unusual. I question everything. They may be unique to me because I don't follow the crowd or jump on bandwagons.
