Re: Religion DOES Do More Good Than Harm
[ QUOTE ]
I had originally assummed that almost everyone on this forum is one of those minority of people who is better off not believing in something that is a monumental underdog to be true. Which is why I gave arguments for non belief. Perhaps ten percent of theists would be happier if they became atheists. But I thought a much bigger percent of two plus two theists would be happier as atheists. I don't think that anymore. So I see no good reason for me to pursue the subject further.

I haven't read the thread (pressed for time) so maybe somebody has already said this. But:
Are you overlooking that the people who respond to you and engage you are way more likely to be the type who are resolute in their beliefs? Maybe there are a lot of people who don't post much or even who outright lurk who are the type of theists that you expected to find here. But since they're open to your arguments they do more listening than arguing. The people who are least likely to change their minds will be more likely to speak.
