Back to Theism

You may see reality more clearly, but what do you gain for it? Better adaptation? What good is that in an atheistic universe? What good is truth if it brings only suffering?

Beliefs inform your actions, so as far as I'm concerned it's better to believe more true things as possible.

Besides, a drug addict is perfectly happy when they're high, but is it good for them? Nope.

Your quick reversal to fundamentalism seems far too quick for any rational mind to cope with. You are weak-minded, and religion is the refuge of the weak. Of course, your welcome to stay, but do please try to come up with some proper arguments for God instead of the easily refutable bullshit you just spouted. I mean, come on, make it a little hard for us.

Agreed. Now he's gonna be like Lee Strobel. "Oh I used to be one of you but..."

Bullshit.
