I know for a fact that you know absolutely nothing.
I'm sure you attended a school in which you taught yourself all the things you don't know
And now you assume to know my mind and all it's contents!
Don't you just love the smell of hyperbole mixed with ridicule in the morning? It's so strong and salty...
I know for a fact that you're a lumpy wheeled jackwagon.

I'm not aware of any benefit of religion that can't be achieved as well as, if not better, by other means.
I view it as the equivalent of being drunk (I know this isn't an original thought). Sure. I could cope with life better too if I gave in to the bottle. Is it a good idea? No.
Peace with death and loss of loved ones?
