Well... i really wish i sprouted wings so i could fly and the world would be so much nicer. Yet... it's very unlikely that will happen. What you say though, is the exact reason why religion worked so well. Reality is too cruel so you can try and believe this story that makes it all feel better and worthwhile. I understand that and i know it's conforting to just let go and believe it. But, the religions in holy books are 100% bull because they were made up by humans. So, i do respect those that want to believe that there is a benevolant God, even though theres no proof of it. But religion is a tool used to control the masses. There is nothing good about it. Theres good people, sure, but there is no such thing as a good religion. |
Religion is not just a comforting blanket for everyone. For some, like me, it's also a moral guiding light. One that doesn't need to conflict with science (what is proven is proven, no need to discuss that with religious arguments).
People who just dismiss and attack religion are getting on my nerves. You say you respect people who want to believe? That doesn't seem very true stemming from your post.
