<p>tiff, by saying you feel sad for people, there’s an air of superiority coming from your statement. you clearly are religious, but why denigrate others for not being so; no one wants your pity for viewing the world in a different way.</p>
<p>also, the fact that there have literally been thousands of religions in the world, with pretty much every society since the dawn of man having one, i feel hurts religion’s credibility. </p>
<p>there have been people of many diff religions saying that they have seen their god or whatever, but gods tend to be mutually exclusive unless you’re a pagan.</p>
<p>also, if you look at a map, you’ll realize that the more developed a country is, the % of ppl who are religious is lower. for instance, christianity and islam dominate africa, but when you look at europe, you’ll see the numbers fall of drastically.</p>
