Default Re: Religion DOES Do More Good Than Harm

David,

I think what you said it's definitely true, and to be honest, I don't know how anybody can argue otherwise. It's enough to know people and this world where we live in; but I understand that in order to see this, you need to think of happiness in a practical matter and the problem with some it's to think happiness as some ethereal objective concept (like the Christian God, ironically) . Plenty of people are happy with their delusions (religion, love, money, whatever) and they would be very unhappy if the delusions suddenly disappear.

I even think the probability of "unhappiness" is higher for those going the atheist way. If only for the anguish caused by knowing you know almost nothing and too many things seem to be unbearable random.
