Here is really what I have a problem with...

You've forgotten the purpose of your religion. I'm not a Christian because I hate God or don't believe in God. I'm not a Christian because Christianity has been hijacked by people who think they know everything. Which is the antithesis to faith. 

When The Bible was written people didn't know what we know now. In fact, devout people have died simply for speculating that the stars might be other suns. People who were right, but had the nerve to question what the Church "knew" was right. 

You don't disagree that the stars are other suns. You agree that we have overwhelming evidence that they are. But to ancient people these things were intimate mysteries. The wonder of the heavens was above you (and still is). Faith was very much about your relationship with the unknown. "God" was a placeholder for the unknown. There is something bigger than us, and it wants us to do right to ourselves and to each other. That is what faith is about. (cont.)
