Religion is like many other recreational drugs. Necessary? No. Appealing? Yes. Potential positive effects? Yes. Potential negative effects? In spades.

In the tiniest of doses, relatively harmless, when absorbed in frighteningly high doses however...

I liked the "God Delusion Calculator" found here:



"Faith is about taking a comforting, childlike view of a disturbing and complicated world." ~ Edward Current
