Reading out of context

I suppose it is easy for a non-believer to read the bible out of context and miss the whole philosophy behind the statement. Romans 12:19 is not telling people to not think for themselves. It is also not saying don't worry about it because it "will be handled by divine retribution". If you roll back through the entire chapter (and know the entire book), you'd know that this chapter is about doing the Lords service. We will all go on to be persecuted, but we shouldn't repay evil with evil. And in reality, "divine retribution" is no different that the concept of Karma.
My concept of justice is not just because I'm not all knowing, nor am I sinless. I am called to love. And, though I struggle with finding love for people who hurt me, I recognize that this is part of the calling of my life. This is not just a "religion". This is a faith in something other than myself. Something that I've seen first hand. And it is hard to understand if you are still hiding behind your fear of religion, and still living your life without taking a step of faith.
I understand science. I do not avoid its understanding just because I believe my god lovingly created me. I also understand that signs often point to different things. Science is trial and error. Philosophically, science relies on faith as well. Some areas even rely on contradicting statements and circular reasoning. A scientist needs just as much faith as a "religious" person, and yet us "religious" folk are constantly seen as blind.
Any way... I'm getting off subject. My point is... I believe that there is a God. He sent his son down to die for me. I believe we are all sinners, including myself. The only path that leads to heaven is a belief that Jesus loved us enough to make the ultimate sacrifice.
To a science man, all of this makes no sense. But, then again, this man has not stepped out from what he "knows" and put a little effort in caring about the other side. This science man could see the science behind this faith. And yes, there is science involved. Even your blog supports this... read through slowly with an educated mind and you would see the sentence that supports my thought.
