^Hey, we're getting somewhere here. Certainly farther than we were getting discussing whether or not "Jethro tull is the most anti-religious, religious."

Unfortunately MarcIsCringe posted the once to make the topic and then seems to have not been interested enough to engage thereafter.

... My god is about having faith despite the church. Any thoughts?

I take issue with faith, and the notion of a God that would require faith to believe in it and that would desire both faith and worship.

I love this Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy quote about the Babel fish on God and faith:

 Douglas Adams wrote:

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.

The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist,'" says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."

"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
