Well<br>
I think the World turned sour ever since our cromagnon ancestors started bickering amoungst themselves over who had the right faith. It is quite human and it will go on for ever as it is deeply part of human nature to need a god or to loose oneself in the supernatural. It is probably due to the inevitable suffering we go thru in life. But there is also another aspect of human nature that should be more admired and that is the brain that God or evolution gave us. And I feel that the brain functions at its best when it struggles to deal with uncertainties and doubt and NOT when it surrenders its unique abilities and embraces a faith.<br>
I prefer to avoid people that embrace a faith because there is no real discussion with them and when you argue back with reason they get offened and proclaim their right to be at one with their God(s), magic or whatever. But they seem to have little doubts when it comes to condeming others, with a different faith, to eternal hell, or worse, to living hell.<br>

No I do not admire who has faith. <p></p><i></i>
