More facile answers to an impossible dillemma
Sincere, but ultimately self-serving
.. but admittedly, a cut above these morons: (although the Rabbi's comments are probably the least dishonest ..)
I am on record here as being sympathetic to religion - Christianity and Judaism - or at the very least to religiosity as a mindset, but this miserable rubbish is clearest evidence yet of the ideological nature of religion.
I am aware that people throughout the ages have suffered in various holocausts and remained religious, and even strengthened their beliefs, but then they are either stronger and wiser, or else stupider, than me. For the sake of faith, I hope the first option turns out to be the correct one, but at the moment I can well understand the arguments of atheists.
