If there is no God....

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

So do you have a problem with people believing in God?

I really don't care what others believe, think, say or do unless they try to impose their world view and values on me or others. This position extends to aggressive and militant atheists who try to deconvert believers. I consider any kind of proselytising the height of arrogance.

Of course religion has caused some bad things to happen in the past, but I think what it brings to individual lives out weighs this.

Great harm continues to be done in name of religion ,every day,from suicide bombers,to the Vatican's callous anti condom rule to the hateful bile of Fred Phelps and much,much more..

As for the good outweighing the bad,that is entirely a matter of opinion.As I have never seen convincing evidence for either point of view,I remain agnostic on the subject. In my experience religion neither makes bad people good nor good people bad,it merely provides them for a framework to follow their natural inclinations.
