Subject: RE: BS: The God Delusion 2010
.The word delusion was obviously meant to be derisive and insulting to some.

I offer a sweeping apology to those who are directly hurt.

One should bear in mind that there is just so much pain and loss that a human being can endure and for those who are in need of a hope and belief in an afterlife and the like, should freely have the threapeutic benefits that such a God would offer.

Each of you have opinions of the world and your self that is basicly nothing more than the story you tell yourself is true. Change the story and you have changed yourself and/or the world. That is the psychological reality we share.

Still I believe that not all children or adults may need the kind of therapy that a God belief may offer. But for those who have encountered unfathomable loss, It can indeed provide great comfort.
