I know full well what religion is "supposedly" offering you young hairy footed hobit.
It's just, I'm not buying any of it. It offers an afterlife....when you are long dead!
It offers you happiness...when I already poses that.
It offers you an escape from problems....yet I've never seen god pay up any bills.
Like a corrupt company trying to sell you it's shoddy goods. I'm not buying any of it.
I know what religion is offering frodo. I'm just not buying it.
Evidence is the only way for me to be convinced. Words and promises mean nothing to me.
Do keep in mind frodo that you see gain and such from religion/god because you already believe in it.
I don't. My world/reality does not have a god or afterlife in it. To convince me of there being such a being and a place would require evidence.
It doesn't matter what religion offers, but can it support it's claims?
I don't pick or choose parts of any religion. Since I reject the whole thing. God/religion plays no role in my life at all, and I like it this way.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
