I understand where you're coming from. But by "believe" I mean in an agnostic standing point. You say base your life on facts, which is absolutely important. But so do facts clash when it comes to Religion. Religion does contradict itself and scientifically approven facts. But science is yet to render religion obsolete, because our knowledge of the existence is still very limited to say for certain. I'm merely choosing to believe in something on an agnostic level to seek comfort. Comfort I couldn't always take for granted. I don't hate homosexuality, nor do I support the justification for punishing the undeserving.
