A LIST of PROBLEMS religion creates... and how there is only ONE benefit to it

Here is a part of an answer i gave to one of the people that had responded to me in my other discussion: "i don't see how 1500 years of banishing scientific advancement, taxing people through fear, indulgences, simonies, relics, avoiding state taxes, increasing support, starting wars and pretending to help the poor (mother t.) not to mention witch hunts, book burnings and extensive unnecessary exorcisms that led to psychological damage, economic disasters and political scams have had any benefits for society at all. do you?" i would also like to add, "terrorism, death, violence, hatred of other religions, hatred of other cultures, the holocaust, lack of thinking for yourself, destroying philosophy, hypocrisy - priest celibacy, molestation, rape, money laundering, increasing ignorance, dismissing science, dismissing history, dismissing logic, extremism, dogmatism, holding back creativity, dismissing art, destroying art, destroying history, brainwashing, scaring children, lack of consistency..." i could probably go on and on... but the most important thing i am against is the idea of HYPOCRISY (and brainwashing of course). religion has caused nothing but trouble for humanity and i don't see why anyone should be religious. no, this is not hate speech, its just an intensive criticism. If anyone is still religious after reading/knowing that, i would have no choice but to think of you as a sociopath. there is, however ONE [minor] thing that makes people religious.. and that, my friends, is that religion makes people feel comfortable with life. that seems to be the only benefit that religion brings to the table, but then again, it destroys the table right after :D. after reading the list, there may be somethings you disagree with, go ahead, point it out, but i doubt that anyone can take on all the points, because some are just facts. good luck tackling this one delusional theologians! :P
