Was this written by a retard?
"When all of the evidence (100%) says something happened, and there is no evidence (zero) that anything else could have happened, it is the truth beyond a reasonable doubt to honest, rational people."
Give me an evidence what you quoted is false and I will agree this was written by a retard... I could not find any evidence myself, so I can deduce it is true.

Hmm...whoever wrote that certainly does not understand how evolution works.
Well, the evidence says we evolved as life evolved, but maybe you have better explanation ?

Religion is just another vehicle people use in their life. Some people choose not to use it. Similar to how some people don't buy certain cars. Some people don't play certain video games because it doesn't fit their likes.
Applies the same here. And for some it's born to a part of their tradition as they are raised up in families with it.
That's not the point the person was trying to make.
Just trying to make a point that what matters is how you live and that religion is more of a personal experience that some people share with others.
I am not sure he meant that, but I agree with the first part of your post.

Honestly, the answer is No. We can be way better people than we currently are without using religion as a cop out and a crutch for our own insecurities. Hands down. Cognitive dissonance.
Yeah exactly, what I was trying to explain is religions have a bad influence on people.
Religions are dividing people and started most the wars in the past.
It is a shame because all prophets actually had messages of peace and unity, the world would be peaceful if main religions could unite.

It took me about 6 months of rigorous work to have a real experience. Many people out there expect to find God while maintaining their own egotistical ideas, and that simply doesn't work.
You did not answer the question.

from what I read you live a very boring life.
no one needs religion, bout the simplest I can explain is if youre scared go to church.
My life is actually going better, and I am not scared to go to church, I love Jesus's message, but I do not like/support the myths that churchs are still spreading (physical resurrection/healings).

When someone tells you that they have experienced something that proves absolutely to them that God does indeed exist, you should always remember that this experience was theirs alone..
When you experience something that irrevocably convinces you that God exists, that experience is yours, exclusively in most cases, and you can never prove to those that were not there that it even happened
I sincerely hope and pray that each and every one of you who may read this have that one experience, that is yours exclusively in most cases, that can enable you to withstand all that others say and conjecture without ever forgetting what you have seen and experienced... and simply understand that their turn has not happened ...... yet
'nuff said..
My God is life, and I have a lot of proofs life exists
