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?
As I'm sure I stated previously, the Western world was definitely NOT built on christian values... Name a "christian value" that the western world was build upon... name anything besides don't kill/steal, which are clearly not invented by christians
The problems of the 15th century were a direct result of the dark ages... a curse Christianity inflicted upon Europe... 300 years of murder, torture, rape, book burnings, etc... it was a madhouse... Christians murdered and destroyed half of Europe!
The world would have been much better off without the Inquisition, Burning witches alive, Crusades, et al
