Oh boy this is gonna be good.

Don't compare MLP to a religion, ESPECIALLY in a way that makes it seem better than said religion. Not to be rude, but it's a tad disrespectful. Many people would argue that religion can help people much more than our humble show about ponies.

But the thing is, we don't have to argue. There's no point in deciding if one is better, because it'll just leave a massive schism between two groups of people who both take joy in something.

Why don't we just say that while both things have their attributes and faults, they both help people?
