RE: The Problem with Atheism
I mostly agree with you, albeit I should add that there are people who seek company but never get it. People who perhaps don't even go to church, but still maintain a belief in God as a sort of inner supporter and companion in times of hardship. I think this is where many stories of criminals and alcoholics reforming once they found God come from. They found someone who will love them unconditionally. It's a bit like having a pet, except much more lofty and intellectual, because this inner Tamagochi actually understands your adult worries and sympathizes with them. (No one seems to assume that God is against them. God wouldn't be a very good companion if he was always disapproving of you.)
