Random middle of the night thoughts on religion

[Duke]

There are a lot of benefits to having other people believe all sorts of things. The only bad I can think of is in the holding back of understanding the universe on the whole, and the violence that comes when they come into contact with people who hold a different set of random beliefs.

Like, I see it as a huge disadvantage to be delusional, but ask a religious person what they think. They typically think it's a huge advantage across the board, so who am I to argue with them?
