Faith: Why It's Stupid.

This is a response to the recent rash of trash from Alter2Ego.

Why faith is stupid.

Faith is for those who are scared, those who need comfort in times of hardship.

I don't mind believers in any faith, but when they start going on about how strong and brave they are, I just wanna puke.
If you are brave, you wouldn't be scared to death of Hell.

After all, what do all fears lead to in some way? Death. Which for most believers means heaven or hell.

Religion always seems to come back to death. Not really the concern of some afterlife but death itself. The very thought that you shut down and cease to exist, permanently. To die.
People of faith who say they aren't afraid of it and cling tightly to beliefs concerning some afterlife I think are liars.

Religion always comes back to death and the belief of continued existence. "Yeah, we'll die, but don't worry because we'll still exist but just somewhere else that's better"
Don't get your hopes up theists.
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.

Meh. I'll hope all I want. Not like they'll be dashed if I'm wrong. Alternative is just as peaceful. I just won't be aware of it.
This is stupid
