Are some people truly better off believing?
#6
RE: Are some people truly better off believing?
I get where your coming from and yeah I've seen religion give people who need it strength and seen it motivate people to do wondrous things. However it's motivated people to do monstrous things or at least given them means to justify it as well. I don't think you can ever get the good without the bad.

I don't try and convince anyone what to believe, but I do wonder what the world would be like without religion. Unfortunately I think the hatred and violence is part of human nature and as a whole we'd find new justifications for prejudice and harming others.
