Please, someone tell me how believing in a magic sky God is better than not believing in a magic sky God...  How does believing in fairy tales help a person in any way whatsoever?

You do realise that all the Western world was built on Christian values, not the ones you cherry picked from old testament, but rather on the 10 commitments (even if they've been altered).

You don't see how humanity have benefited from religion? Then you sir, are a moron.
How would you go around explaining say 15th century unwashed, illetarate masses what is good and what is bad? The fear of the law enforcement was virtually non-existant, you could commit shitloads of undetected crime. So go on, tell me how would you explain to some average dumb peasant that stealing/raping/killing (when no one sees you) is bad. The belief in magic sky fairy did and still does an amazing job.

How do you imagine Battle of Vienna (Christians defending Europe from muslim imvasion) would look like if every European valued their own life the most and didn't believe in afterlife reward? Who would be willing to die for higher cause?

So yes, very likely thanks to those 'Christian nutters' who protected their countries and continent from 'muslim nutters' you're now allowed to be an atheist and bitch about Christianity. And funny part, they still fucking love you (at least officially).

And you honestly have never heard of any alcoholic, drug addict, criminal, or other degenerate who turned their lives around because they 'found Jesus'? Acknowledging and accepting the higher power can have a very strong positive effect (even if it's a fairytale).

And from scientific point of view, is it or is it not possible, considering infinite time in the universe, that some sort of force (that could fit definition of God) has emerged at some point?
