Re: Religion is a source of comfort.
For every person comforted by religion there's probably a closeted priest, self-hating homosexual, or guilt-ridden masturbator/pre-marital-sex-participant/lesbian porno fan/etc.
I think self-deluding yourself into believing that something imiaginary is true, in order to feel better during tough times, only exchanges some problems for others. That's not to say belief doesn't have it's benefits, only that you can't ignore the downsides that come along with it.
