Quote:I'm even more negative than you in that I've come to realize that all people... even atheists, believe in all kinds of nonsense just because it makes them feel good. Stupidity is not just relegated to Theists, it's everywhere.
But I have a problem with the legitimacy and credibility that we are expected to afford believers.
If I were to tell you that I have an invisible, magical flying friend named Frank who speaks to me I'd be branded as a complete and total nut-case. Yet if I were to tell you that I have an invisible, magical flying friend named Jesus who speaks to me, society expects you to afford me respect and credibility.
And yet both claims are equally profoundly absurd and ridiculous...
