Does anybody else feel sorry for religious people?

I would say I pity them. I can't imagine how mentally damaging it must be to try and convince yourself, let alone anyone else, of all the ridiculous contradictory utter nonsense. And to have to overrule your own conscience and your own logic every time you discuss it. That must be miserable. But maybe a certain masochistic or naturally dishonest personality type would enjoy such tribulations.

I have to stand back and say, this is a grown adult believing in fairy stories. And not even convincing ones, the most poorly told, unbelievable, inconsistent, boring, violent and ridiculous stories I've ever heard. I do however feel immensely sorry for any child being forced to believe this crap. They are reliant on their parents for education and protection and they are being utterly failed.
