While I am agnostic, I disagree that the reasons listed are a good reason to follow that path, they are simply good things about it. Those things shouldn't be why you are what you are, but a part of being what you are. A religion shouldn't be chosen based on what is good and/or bad about it, it's about truth. If something is true, you should believe it, whether you like it or not.
Of course, while those things shouldn't be the sole reason to believe, they are cool. I'm just not a big fan of "I can admit I have no Idea who God is, and be perfectly content in my ignorance.". I admit I have no idea what/who god is, but I don't like the fact that I don't know.

Can we at TFP just make up a word for Christians with a head on their shoulders? Intellichristians or something? It's a small subset I realize, but there ARE Christians out there with a rational approach to life.. I think.

I call them thinking Christians.
