God blesses those who realize their need for him,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.
God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
God blesses those who are gentle and lowly,
for the whole earth will belong to them.
God blesses those who are hungry and thirsty for justice,
for they will receive it in full.
God blesses those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted because they live for God,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
God blesses you when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted, too.
Matthew 5:3-11

You're an Idiot. Just kidding. I'm a christian, and me and my guy friends are always cutting and ranking on each other.
Honestly, you may have to grow a bit thicker skin and not worry so much about what people say. Remember, the truth hurts and while many people can be cruel, constructive criticism is often masked in humor: "Many truths are said in jest." So you need to weigh everything that's said, use the things that you think may help you and let the other role off your back like water on a duck.
Try not to be so sensitive.

The fact of the matter is, a belief in God neither makes you mentally ill, nor an idiot.
The scientific method was infact developed by a Christian, Francis Bacon.
The father of modern economics was a Christian, Adam Smith.
The father of modern physics was a Christian, Isaac Newton.
Charles Darwin professed Christianity when he released "Origin of the species".
I can go on.
The list of people that profess faith in God, and, have had scientific break throughs or great inventions, dwarf inventions/breakthroughs by atheists.
And there is one more thing, atheists cannot explain how DNA developed without violating the second law of thermodynamics, assuming closed system is the entire universe.

Denigration is the ego trip of those who are too lazy to understand their own beliefs. On the other hand, if there wasn't a concept of God, many people would have no one to blame for their situations than themselves, and, most people can't handle that.

Idiot and fool have totally different meanings, but a I get your drift. No, even there you will be to that the "fool has said in His heart there is no God." The point is you will have no excuse for not believing.

No there is not such a place. There is no thought of faith. People want proof but some have blind faith. Blind faith is believing in something or someone you can't prove exists. I believe. God bless you my fellow believer.
