    Very good point that it's not satisfying. People in the main have no interest in whether it's true, but whether it makes them feel better about themselves and the world. Few people can exist without the warm blanket that belief offers: someone who loves you when no one else does, some one who will forgive your sins and finally somewhere after you're dead.

    If you're a strong person, then Protestantism or even Quakerism might be the best one.removed to avoid potential religion bashing.

    I'm in favour of it - cheaper than antidepressants after all. I hope my son grows up with the belief that somehow everything is going to be OK as it's a great health booster when things are tough. If you can believe that God loves you and not wonder that perhaps it'd be better to display love in ways that wouldn't get one locked up if one were a mere human would be nice...

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
