I'm starting to feel like all your posts are making my argument for me. You keep pointing out reasons why religion is beneficial to societies. Your main point is that despite the benefits of religion, it's all BS. To which I say, probably. But it's very helpful BS.
Also I wasn't making fun of anyone. Just saying, the rules of discourse should say that the following is a foul:
Person 1 makes argument. Person 2 points out that philosopher A made similar argument, and then philosopher Beta wrote something that pwned said argument, therefore argument is wrong.
What would be more helpful would be: "The point you made is similar to that made by A. However, B points out that blah blah blah." What repug said is only unobnoxious if it is understood that everyone has read A and B.
