Greg Koukl and Tim Barnett respond to a question raised by Steven Bartleet on The Diary of a CEO about whether religion is valuable simply because it makes people happier or provides structure in life. Greg acknowledges that belief systems can give people order and stability, but he emphasizes that usefulness alone does not determine truth. Ultimately, he argues that the key question is whether a religion corresponds to reality, not whether it provides subjective comfort.
