Well, I told my mother that if she'd been born in an Islamic country and given that up-bringing, she'd undoubtedly be Muslim now. Do you know what she did? She thought a moment, and then smirked and said, "God made sure I was born Christian."

THAT is the mentality. Deep down, each religious person seems to be pretty certain that they have been placed in the right place to learn the right religion, because they are one of God's favorites. There's a mighty egotism in that, and it explains why they are so fervent.

I actually had a couple women on another thread commenting to each other that I was an atheist because God didn't want me to know Him, and had thus not "opened my heart" the way He'd opened theirs. This is borderline mental illness. (And I'm not so sure about the "borderline" part.)

Mental illness is the atheism that murdered more than 100 million last century. It is mentally ill to think that all religious people are crazy. The next step is probably extermination, right?

You probably consider it the opiate of the masses, like your hero.

Maybe you shouldn’t generalize and build straw men to knock over.
