OK, after reading these posts it seems a lot of people here would say that religion makes no sense logically, does nothing beneficial, and is in fact generally harmful. Also I'm getting that you think of atheism as the basic, default stance, and it is supported by science, which explains the universe in much clearer terms.
Interesting stance, generally science is closely tied to philosophy throughout human history, and they both operate off of logic structures, I would like to know more about how you see this. In any case, The Void certainly seems to like philosophy enough for the both of you!
Lots of good input and even a debate about philosophy, good stuff. Thanks everybody!

It all seems like mental gymnastics to me... and I don't care how you word the claim that god exists, or what mental gymnastics you take to get there... none of it makes the claim true, nor does it give me any reason to believe that it is.
