That doesn't make any sense to me at all. I haven't had any severe impact from religion throughout my life in any form, other than digust at the occasional church proclivity that involves hatred of gays, veterans, or protects child rapists.
I'm disgusted at those things as well, as are the religious people I know. So why focus on what a very small minority think and believe it absolves the condemnation of religion?
I forgot to include the condemnation of skepticism and science, as well as church dogma's infestation of political affairs.
I post because I don't see the religious taking care of the problems caused by their camp.
Also, it's fun. I don't really need much reason other than that.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
