If the concept about god is such an abhorrent idea, let's not forget the fact that from this concept, mankind built their civilization, to which the humanistic world view is now trying to wrist from it. Don't berate me either if I rant about the evil of science since it gives us the nuclear bombs, global warming and all the evil that came out from it.
I'm no fan of religion, it's just that when I looked around me I see a lot of people badly needed it. And if we have a sense of empathy towards our fellow human, we should accept it that for them, it's religion that keeps them going on life. For them religion and belief in God is not just an abstract idea or some thoughts to ponder on, but a deep need and a way of life. So we should not be surprised if sometimes people run amuck with rage when they are faced with horrifying truths regarding with what they believe.
But I guess perhaps, some people so confident with their new found concept, finds so much pleasure in seeing others in discomfort by demolishing their cherish belief. Search for truth is nothing but a pretension for making fun out of our fellow man's belief, while we call ourselves free thinkers and intellectuals..yeah, so enlighten enough with the truth but devoid of any understanding to what it is that makes us human in the first place.
