Challenge: Worshipping Gods Is Futile

Here’s a challenge I came across in a post titled “The Horrible Truth about Religion.”

Worshipping gods is futile and is nothing more than an ancient primitive custom practiced by weak minded and superstitious people. It has no place in the 21st century. The reason we have life in this world is to experience life in this world, not to spend our entire lives studying an old book, looking up to the sky and worshipping an invisible ruler in another realm.

How would you go about responding to a friend who had this view? How would you challenge this challenge? Tell us what you think in the comments, and then we’ll hear from Alan on Thursday.
