Why people who are religious are better and more special

RE: Why people who are religious are better and more special
Quote:Religious belief can serve as a way of improving your confidence or self-esteem, though it can also be damaging to that same sense of self.


Yeah - in the wise words of H. L. Mencken....

Quote:God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters.
