HA! You admit to your travesty! Just wait until our Evil Atheist Conspiracy is enacted, and you all will fall!

...to be serious-ish, for some people religion is truly what they need, and hopefully it does you good :)

Need for what is the question. When Dak says "needs," he probably means that some people need religion/God to be happy. When Cuda says "needs," Cuda probably means that all people need religion/God for the salvation of their immortal souls (or something akin to this). I think that we can all agree to the former, whereas with the latter, we can only all agree that this is subject to much debate. ;)

The goal of all debates should be to find Truth.

What I mean is that our "religion" and the people that preach it get in the way of what God wants for us.

Sorry to see you go, SilverFJ. At least when we die we're not cognizant of the inevitable disappointment of permanent inexistence.

Well my pappy was Southern Baptist but I'd like to share faith with people a little less judgemental, at least less than those of his church.

Having been raised Catholic, I like what I see in the Episcopal Church. My lifelong non-denom wife prefers the latter. Congratulations, btw.
