@AlliFlowers l was giving it some thought the other day and had, shall we say, an epiphany.
Religion can make a believer feel really good. Not just emotionally, but also physically – I speak from 1st person experience. When you do the math, it is no different in sum than booze or sex or heroin or street racing, including all the negative side effects.
Proselytizers are truly no better than drug pushers or pimps and desperately need to be set on level footing with suchlike.
