JW looking clarity followup

Bennyboy: That's right. It's what it comes down to in the end: assumptions. If you are interested in the truth, you should make as few assumptions as realistically possible. Assuming the existence of things yet undemonstrated, especially something so contrary to our experiences as a god, is leaping straight to the conclusion; or so near to it as to make no difference. The point is that it seems impossible to me to reason yourself into believing religion; which is why I think the real reasons for belief are generally emotional and/or the result of indoctrination. And why it's so hard to try and reason people out of it, even when the line of reasoning seems solid.

But as usual, I can't just assume I am right And I'm always prepared to hear how someone does explain their reasons in a way that doesn't make massive assumptions. And people may value their beliefs being comfortable over them being true. That is their choice to make.
