If I didn't analyze or ridicule my own religious experiences I wouldn't be a Christian.
@EvF: the point of belief isn't a choice between equals. It's a process of rationalisation leading to a conclusion of an absolute stance one way or the other. It takes a lot of positive affirmation on the side of belief to tempt a person into considering switching sides to theism.
The positives to be gained from switching are very far removed from trivial or and derogatory analysis that you've made. None of those reasons are about superstition or make believe, but sound, solid benefits. A delusion is something 2 dimensional when compared to the complexity of belief.
'Existance', as you need to prove it, misses the point entirely, and should be the subject of a different discussion. It's mixed in here because you confuse science with religion on this topic.
