If the false hope rests on what does real damage, then of course it is necessary to take away the hope.

The only response to such a statement is a blank stare, the plaintiff is in a dilemma of their own making. In order for them to lose hope they must have accepted the argument that their religion is false and if their religion is false it naturally follows that hope is false. If they aren't too keen on the conclusion then they should stay the fuck away from logic and reason.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

No, I am saying that reality is far better to face than clinging to fantasy. I cant change that people hate ABBA, but I do face the fact that plenty of people hate ABBA. Religion however, is far different. It is anthropomorphic tribalism rooted in superstition. Not liking ABBA or liking ABBA is not a political or religious debate. RE: "Don't take away people's hope"

Take away the allegedly hope creating thing....but lo and behold, people remain hopeful. It’s almost as if hope is a response to stress, or something. This is convenient, because it does mean that you can take away a damaging thing without taking away the hope that it doesn’t actually create. As a twofer, it’s been observed that taking away religions ability to inflict harm on others coincides with growing abandonment of the religion.
