Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm not sure that religious faith invariably results in "peace of mind and happiness" or that the search for truth always produces angst. However, I think it's important to value dealing in reality over the failed epistemology of religious faith, even when gratification is delayed / harder to come by.
I can testify that religious faith caused me enough suffering that I exited from it. And irreligion has been sufficiently superior that I've stayed with it.

Love those last 2 sentences, but didn't completely understand the first. Lost in translation perhaps?

No, just because a supposed noteable philosopher said something doesn't mean it makes sense.
@Carin Just go back and read them carefully, it is a perfect indictment of blind faith and the corruption it has wrought on reason.
@Lerlo I am so glad you feel intellectually equipped to criticise one of the greatest thinkers of all time, I look forward to reading your body of work, where can I find it?
@LenHazell53 Actually you can find some of my work reading the briefs in the assisted suicide cases of Dr. Jack Kevorkian before the Michigan Supreme Court where I obtained a 7-0 decision. Didn't mean to tread on your idol or dare to suggest that everything he said wasn't
golden gospel. A mere mortal having an opinion, shocking!
Can you imagine an actual philosopher disagreeing with him? Wow...check that I Q!!!! Want to give me a heads up on who else not to dare question?
