Well said...I read about that in the website. Most people are adamant to accept this belief because all our lives, we had followed the "revealed" religions without reasoning, therefore the reasoning only happens when people started bashing about your religion, and the tendency is to reason out based on what you lived to believe, not because you understood to believe. Take for example the book of Genesis, where God created Adam and Eve, Cain killed Abel and God marked Cain that whoever will kill him will be punished. Who will kill Cain when they are the "First Family" to ever created on earth? No one asked why is this possible.
Take for example the "Ark of the Covenant" in the book of Numbers, when the ark was about to fall, 2 of the priests tried to support the Ark to prevent it from falling, and what did God do to them? He killed them for preventing the Ark from falling. What kind of God is being presented on that scripture, a God who will kill you for nothing?
Belief in God + Reasoning = Deism. You don't need scriptures from the past to guide you in the future. You only need reasoning.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
