What I find amazing about religion is the term "faith". There is alot of power when that word is used in a religious context. I myself am not a very "religious" person, but rather base my belief on how I treat my fellow man. I do find it incredible however, especially in the Islam world, the amount of "faith" that is involved in decision making. To give yourself completely to something that cannot be proven scientifically is truly incredible. I admire people with that amount of faith, even if I may not believe in what they stand for....
Neat post

If you are interested in seeing another perspective on religions evolving - check out www.bahai.org -
- especially the Kitáb-i-Íqán which gives amazing rational (scientific?) explanations of tonnes of biblical and koranic passages - as oppose to "whacky"litteral ones;
