Belief in proof ante? What you're talking about is an Epic. A story lo author edo raskunnadu, people can learn from or not. I learned a lot from Harry Potter, from Lord of the Rings, from watching Starwars, they are all epics too. Antekani Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader la ela aytadu ante em cheptam? As long as it's my choice to make, I can believe in Hogwarts, I can believe in my patronus charm, I  can believe in my power to shun away dementors. It's my choice.

this is the same exact argument that extremists make n believe in

i am not here to lecture/enlighten what you want to believe  or not.......but most of the problems come from a belief system.....my understanding

Well, you're missing the point again. Religion is a choice, believing or not is also a choice that people make. God or the authors of the epics that you described are under no obligation to make people be righteous. It's a person who chooses to be righteous or not. And like I said you don't need to religious to be righteous. Everything that happens in the society, you can learn the good from it, or the bad. It's upto a person to decide what she/he wants to believe in.

religion is never a choice, religion/brainwash starts from the very next sec u start breathing

you have to be mentally soo mature n strong to break this borders that were drew around you.....not even 1% fall out of this

Well guess what any person is entitled to believe in whatever they want. And beliefs are not necessarily bad, I can tell you all about how Harry Potter helped me get out of depression in grad school. I am sure that's the case with a lot of people. So, no, beliefs don't just have problems, they have benefits as well. Just like anything in the world, it's a two-sided coin.

Like I said, there are issues with it, doesn't mean there are no benefits for it. Don't look at being open-minded and being religious as mutually exclusive, they're not.

Being agnostic is not being Gopi. It is questioning a position with reasoning. No one showed me that there is no God, so, I refuse to believe it.

I never denied the existence of God. That's what I have been saying all through.
