people who believe in god are deluded. doesn't make them bad necessarily just deluded and misguided. of those who believe in god and are therefore deluded there are a percentage of wackers that give religion a bad name.
How are religious people more or less deluded than say people who think:
- all matter magically appeared out of an infinitely small point of nothingness;
- has the capability to completely collapse into that point again;
- supposedly has a whole bunch of ghost like dark matter within it which no one can see or measure;
- is comprised of "particles" which are just a term for a point which actually has no mass if it isn't moving and doesn't technically exist;
- has particles moving in and out of the Universe at random with no reason as to why or where from;
- has four fundamental forces, again for no apparant reason;
- all particles are connected together via giant vibrating strings.
Now whilst I believe that all of the above is generally true about the Universe, I'm not deluded enough to think I know everything there is to know about reality! The evidence dictates that "reality" from a non-religious point of view, is more flexible than anyone could have imagined!
As for "religious wackers" I'd put my left nut on their being more "aethiest wackers" in this world!!
