These other gods that are so often mentioned have died and never ressurection. Why should I worship a god that died and never promised to return for his followers?
For example, Thor is not worshipped as god in any religion.
The only thing the world gets from Thor is "Thursday" meaning; "Thor's Day."
Odin is another Norse Mythology.
The only thing we get from Odin is "Wednesday."
These were not supernatural Gods. These were mere men claiming god-like divinity.
I can only think of one God that is supernatural, and his name of Yahweh. The God of Israel.

I'm wrong, but it makes me feel good, so I will go on like it is right.It makes me feel good, and I notice there are millions of Christians donating their time in soup kitchens, disaster shelters and homeless shelters. Without Christianity, you can take away the Sunday soup kitchens for the families that are less-fortunate, and you can take away the disaster shelters for those in need during a natural disaster.
Quote:Dawkins regards religion as delusional exactly because of statements like the above.I suggest you read the book called, "The Dawkins Delusion." It was published by a psychiatrist. Richard Dawkins is a Biologist. He does not have a degree in pyshchology. He does not have the authority or training to call anyone delusional.
Quote:Religion portraits itself as the absolute truth without a shred of evidence, and hides behind the "If it's true to me, and makes me feel good, then there is no harm in that." which IS a delusion.Scientists claim religion is a delusion of the mind. Have they invented a medication that cures people from this God delusion?
