I'm with moparmike on this one. Absolutely right and well said. I get really fed up reading that if you do not believe in fairies you are morally bankrupt. I do not need a threat or a reward in the afterlife to lead a decent life. I do it because I want to.

Someone said once (I'm paraphrasing) 'If people did not believe things that there is no evidence for, it would transform the world'.

You think god is looking after you? What about the 'problem of pain'. Why do children die? What's that for? To teach us a lesson?Why are there diseases that strike the innocent? Have you even read any cosmology books - the universe is BIG, we are a tiny micro-speck of slime, existing for a micro-fraction of time. It's the ultimate arrogance to think all of this is for us in any sense. Yes - think for yourself.
