I've read a lot of posts detailing how people believe in a religion rather than atheism because the alternative is worse. How is this logical? Should you do this? For instance, Victor posted:
How can this line of thought even be thought of by the thinker as rational?
I'm not against religion, it's just that you can't believe in it because the alternative is worse. Even if you have other reasons, this reason doesn't deserve to be called one.
I personally do. Not because I don't get any sleep without me believing in God, but more importantly because in the atheistic world view, justice will never be served in it's totality. Hitler's, Stalins, Mao's of the world will get away with murder. Justice is minimized to neuro physical energy of a group of people. No thanks.
