I think it's good to have faith. Faith in whoever or whatever is your god.

Yes, the verse is a comfort only for the believers.Well yes, I can buy that logic but it's quite a big if isn't it.
And that's it in a nutshell. It brings comfort to people, which should be lauded as a positive. Its a shame its been hijacked by lunatics and used to wage all kinds of shit on the world.Yes, the verse is a comfort only for the believers.

So nothing tangible then ? How convenient.Ineffectual ? "He wouldn't do immediately" is not the same as "He cannot do".
Do not think that wrong doers worry about an imaginary friend to the febble minded, being aware or unaware. For he does not exist in any realm, apart from inside the skulls of simpletons and fools.

Pretty much every single person who is a contender for being the smartest human being who was ever born was religious. Isaac Newton is my choice for being the smartest human being ever and he was deeply religious. Euler was religious. Pasteur, Leibniz, Tesla, Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Copernicus, Aristotle, and Bose were all religious.
Quite an achievement of yours to put yourself intellectually above these people and call them feeble minded simpletons and fools.

The thing that gets me about religion is who ever the so called God is , they are so insecure that they demand you worship them.

Hmm, I find the strident anti religion brigade a bit tedious but I do wonder how many of those mentioned would hold the same religious views if around nowadaysPretty much every single person who is a contender for being the smartest human being who was ever born was religious.

The number of clever people who believed moves the dial not a jot in making it true.Pretty much every single person who is a contender for being the smartest human being who was ever born was religious.

This isn't about truth (which you have absolutely no idea about by the way but we'll skip that as it's somewhat irrelevant), this is about you claiming that religious people are stupid because you don't believe the same thing that they do. I provided a list of people who are demonstrably not stupid, perhaps even as clever as you, as a direct counter to that idea. So that seems to put a bit of a hole in your argument.
