I wasn't making a broad social commentary, I had rather specific, obvious examples in mind, but as a general rule I try to abstain from theological discussion on here.

Someday in the future, people will all look upon the various religions of today in the same manner scientists look upon the "gods" and religion of Greece. Even though greeks probably firmly believed in the existence and influence of many gods (sun god, sea god, god of war, etc.)...nowadays, its pretty much viewed as interesting, but nonetheless, nonsensical, myths.

We'll all have a good laugh at how gullible and vulnerable we really are . I am not trying to discourage religion... it is a very good guide to life and many people find comfort in believing in an afterlife. But one should take religion as just that... a guide to life... not the be all and end all of everything.

Yeah, religion is a fantastic guide to life. "Put your penis into a woman's vagina and enjoy it, YOU WILL SPEND AN ETERNITY IN HELL ENDURING THE TORMENT OF A THOUSAND VICIOUS DEMONS AND FIERY BRIMSTONE, INFIDEL. SIEG HEIL"

Few of them are happy. Most are suffering on the inside.

Many of them will even readily admit that they are suffering. They simply state that they are more concerned with the eternal afterlife than they are with their lives on Earth.

Most of them are taught this bullshit from birth. Pounded into their heads as early as age 2, if you disobey the lord you will be forever damned to a Hell filled with the worst pain and suffering you could ever imagine.

Answer me this: If a girl is constantly told from age 2 to 14 that she is a worthless stupid trashy slut whore, how do you think the remainder of her life will be spent? She'll likely do a ton of drugs and alcohol and have many many sexual partners and probably be a rape victim a number of times, until she either dies or eventually decides to spend the rest of her life recovering from the horrible emotional trauma that she experienced age 2 to 14.

With religion it's a little different. Few people tell you that it's wrong and the ones that do are very easily dismissed as false, so people who have religion pounded into their heads from birth never recover. Instead they're like the girl who believed she was a worthless stupid trashy slut whore until she died.

It's not difficult to maintain faith when you're born with it being forced down your throat; just as it's expected that the girl would go on to lead the life of a worthless stupid trashy slut whore.

I could think of a few much better analogies than the one above, but I've already typed a ton so that's what you get. =[
