I don't care what people want to believe in the privacy of their own brains or churches. Religion is an emotional thing, just like preferring vanilla over chocolate. It's not a matter of stupidity to like one or the other; it's simply a matter of choosing one's preferred pleasure or comfort.

But the minute somebody ignores that, and starts pretending there's a rational basis to religion, it becomes a different matter. Religion has no rational basis. It is based on faith, not logic. So, yes, anyone who brings religion into the realm of logic with any expectation of proving it or setting it up as an alternative to science is an idiot.

To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Well said and I 100% agree. Going to copy this for future posts on the matter.
