Religion - the backbone of society
Q: Religion may not be true, but it plays a valuable role in bringing about social cohesion.
A: Is a pack of lies then valuable? Religion certainly brings about social cohesion: it glues us together in one great putrid ball of garbage!
Q: Why should we let a little thing like God come between us? You know, I don't believe everything the Christian Church teaches, but I agree with the essential Christian values - and I think you probably do as well.
A: Is a pack of lies then a small thing? Personally, I disagree with everything any Christian has ever said. Their "essential religious value" is: believe what you like.
