I think most forms of religion are. When I was into religious stuff, it was because I want it so badly to be true, I want spirits and demons and dragons to be real, and I want monsters to blame for everything and easy answers, but all I have is reality. Yeah, reality sucks sometimes, but reality seems to be all there is. I really hope I'm wrong. Side: Yes
Yes it is. Most People join a religion because they believe at the end of their life, they will go to a heaven. It helps them escape the pain of death because they have something to look forward too. It also allows us to believe that we are here for a purpose. We were not created by an accident but an actual Supreme Being that can see that we have worth. Side: Yes
