| God loves you. Religion is based off God's love for you not presenting a million false facts on how the earth was created. |

Those who believes that if the world didn't have religion, the world would be a lot better, they are delusional.
Ever heard of compton? |

Whether religion in America is needed is debatable.
Do keep in mind that there are LOTS of very poor countries that without religion, would crumble and their people would suffer, which is why religion is needed in the world even if a god doesn't exist.
Religion is a great thing in some areas, and if used correctly. |

It would be the other way around. The more we cut religion out of our lives, the more we suffer. Wonder why the US, Britain, and other European countries are so powerful? All of them were raised on Christian morals. |

| I am not arguing if the world would be 'a better place without religion.' I simply look to the evidence that the belief system is not valid and to my moral stance that intellectual honesty is a virtue and choose to share with you that if religion is not true we should not pretend it is. |

| The intellectually honest scientists knows the anthropomorphic deities currently worshiped around the world to be fictitious representations of the human species desire for dominance over nature and the universe through creation myths and the construction of systems of morality to control the behavior of individuals to promote the order and stability of society. |

| Well I just did. Authority is a social construct just like religion. Now I am going to go cry myself to sleep. Goodnight. |

Let me just throw some good old philosophy into the mix.
Question 1: Is God all powerful? Well yes, he is according to every source ever. This means there is nothing he cannot do.
Question 2: Can God create a stone that God cannot lift? Yes? Then there's something he cannot do, lift the stone. No? There's something he can't do, create the stone. Either way, God is not all powerful so an all powerful God is a paradox. |

| Question 2: There's a possibility to get around that, it's just how our intellects are not at the point where we would be able to solve that equation of yours. Good point, tho. |
