Dad links son's suicide to 'The God Delusion'

[allan175]

That is not true then is it? 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.

Haha.....So, all charity and helping your fellow man only happens because the people helping are Christians?

I am firmly in the atheist camp but I go and give blood religiously ( ) every 12 weeks. Maybe I should stop because I don't believe in anything supernatural.

EDIT:
And in the UK you don't get paid when you donate (like I think you do in the USA).

Giving blood is an unselfish deed. I didn't say atheists are not good people. I was saying "if praying makes me feel good, and I believe it can bring peace to the world." then why is that such a bad thing? Why would anyone with a logical thinking brain make up such a crazy statement that "religious people are delusional?" I think that is an extremely ignorant statement, considering the fact that Churches all over the world donate billions of dollars to "feed the hungry and homeless, give presents at christmas charites, soup kitchens on holidays for starving families" How is that delusional?

You seem to be associating someone's "goodness" with their "religiosness" again.

Also, you are linking two entirely different things. Dawkins is saying they are delusional because they are believing in something they have no proof or evidence for.
That has nothing to do with their charitable natures or kindness to others that is, in my opinion, an evolved 'feature' that enabled the societies to form and stay together.
