I am not saying they are the same. They are no where close being the same. But something being retared doesnt qualify you to ignore it, regret it, claim to be any less retarded when it comes to being retarded.
Just be real. Yes, I am an atheist. I have my beliefs that I call facts, because, I spent more time on them to understand.
Just say this, rather than to be a smug about it. Thats all I am saying. Because at the end, nothing is FACT when it comes to our perception of the world, no matter how educated it is....
I have never, not once, said that religion is retarded. I considered myself a Christian until I was 40. The truth is, I miss the comfort I felt from religion. There are times that I'm jealous of people that have strong faith, that there will be an afterlife filled with happiness. The fact that I'm not going to spend eternity with friends and family is sad, indeed.
But I can't force myself to believe. I simply outgrew religion, the same way that I outgrew the notion that I would someday marry a prince.
If you are sincere in your faith and try to do what's right, I say more power to you!
