A few note about the previous post, first of all it was amazingly difficult to find the right picture and even then I'm not totally satisfied with the one I chose. Seriously, using Google image finder to find examples of faith turned up weird and confusing results from crosses (of course) to dogs and for some odd reason a rotting turnip... meh, go figure. Speaking of interesting Google search results, I've heard that when one used to type 'I love Jews' in the search engine, Google would helpfully suggest 'Did you mean: I love Jesus'. Of course once informed the correction was removed and people could once again safely proclaim their Judaic love... okay that was bad, but damn well funny.
As for the subject of the post itself, the matter should really have treatment in an essay with actual editing and research but of course given the uhm... budget, yes budget, I have to work with, it will suffice to have an inaccurate and grammar mistake ridden post in an out of the way blog. As a bit of clarification, by the end of the post it may seem that I draw a line between religious faith and faith in humanity - that is by no means the case! Actually some of the people most devoted to humanity were highly spiritual, off the top of my head Gandhi and Mother Theresa are prime examples. Of course on the flip side (is flip side a real phrase?) a religious person isn't necessarily devoted to their fellow man... but to be fair there does seem to be a higher percentage among the religious... oh well, thoughts for another blog post. Sometimes the hardest part of blogging is actually stopping short of creating a incomprehensible mess, though it is fun to write at least. Anyway as much sense as this paragraph makes let's move on to a few random musings.... or not, I'm tired and will save that for another day. So in conclusion, always remember to pack a towel.
