Quote: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.
There is a saying which goes, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." For some unfathomable reason, the religious seem to think they are exempt from that requirement.
