Dude, I practice my own personal religion, I don't make nobody else do it, and I love it. I love everything about it, and I don't feel it's a hindrance, I think it makes my life, NOW, better... not my life after I die.
How can you knock that? If we're enjoying it, how are we 'being deceived"? If it's making me a better person, how is it wrong? I never understood that.

It's my fault for postin too much info at the same time.
I guess you will never understand until you witness it yourself, that's the nature of Atheism.
But regardless of that, you'll understand what I'm saying if you have an open mind.
Good, your beliefs work for you.
Good for you.
But how are you going to convince someone else to live life appropriately with Atheism?
Atheism has nothing to offer.
You see, you don't have to necessarily believe that religion is real.
Let's say that it is fake, the important point is that it works.
It gives people the sense of reward for being good.
It gives you comfort and hope.
Even if it's fake.
We as a civilization need to believe that there is a higher power above us in order to survive.
Look, the world is chaotic as it is already even though we have a lot of religious folks.
And it will get even worse with out religion.
You see religion is a big brother for us all.
It gives us a "good" conscious.
The good conscious embeds in our lives.
A true religious person will do nobody any harm because we are taught to help others.
It teaches us not to be selfish and to look out for the entire world.
Especailly in Christianity, we are taught that if we want to be accepted by God we need to be more like him.
Perfect....
True, no one can be perfect but that is our measuring stick and we are taught to be as perfect as can be.
Atheism makes an un even measuring stick.
And it encourages people to be free and do what they like as long as they don't hurt anyone.
That's too much freedom and just like children you need to be limited to what you do.
You might have good intentions but the next man won't.
There will be much more negatives then possitives under Atheism.
Our cvilization has gotten to a dead end. And it's because of people's lack of faith in God.
It's like we need a new religion that everyone can relate to because the religions of old can longer be related to people now days....
And that's the bottom line as to why we need religion....
