Are some people truly better off believing?
#9
RE: Are some people truly better off believing?
I'd like to differentiate between thinking about the hypothetical world where religion doesn't exist and actively trying to make that happen. I think it's an important distinction.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
