It seems to me that everyone who posts here in R&S is very knowledgeable re: religion, more so than the average man in the street. Understandably, posters like goodlife, Theland, Clanad, Keyplus et al would know their own religion but what has led the unbelievers here to be so informed?

My own experience was becoming a 'born again' evangelical christian in my teenage years. After reading the Bible (all of it) I honestly couldnt justify holding the beliefs that I did based on a sick and twisted tome. I left christianity behind when I was in my 20's. However, I retained an interest in all thing spiritual and looked into a lot of different religious viewpoints. All were found wanting although I'm still interested in alternative points of view.

Just curious as to how unbelievers here became so informed?
Its not as though the average man on the street reads the bible and koran is it?
Thanks.

Grasscarp, I did not write that my research is to enlighten others at all!

I said that we "enlighten others" I have never said or implied that I research specifically to enlighten other!

I said: //because it is actually an interesting subject, and religion still plays a part in our lives whether we like it or not, and some of us don't like it!//

The fact that I enlighten people with my knowledge does not mean that I do any research for that reason, and I certainly do not! I research for the reason I gave, because it is interesting!



Thank you for your detailed reply. I am in admiration of your knowledge on many matters.
