We cling to things that are dangerous, we do things that will hurt us, we eat food that will make us fat, and we buy videogames and movies, all because they make us happy, they give us comfort, just like religion. Religion is like a blanket of security, gives us hope and unity and all those placebos, but happiness is happiness. I just REALLY REALLY wish that's all religion was, I wouldn't be so hostile towards if if they kept their faith to themselves. Instead we live in a world where I can't even answer my door without "HAve you found jesus" morons pushing their beliefs. |
That pretty much sums up your arguments. You're hoping for the ideal when in reality it can't happen. If religion weren't there then something else would take its place as a "placebo". And responding in a hostile manner by "being a moron pushing his belief" won't get you anywhere when you're trying to prove a point. Arguments don't work when you're completely one-sided.
