.....or, imagine that, quite possibly, that they have had experiences in life that made them arrive at this belief? You know, a crazy notion, maybe they actually think it's true?
I don't mean to be rude, and I'm sorry if I come off that way, but it's a bit like when theists say that atheists disbelieve because they're angry at god or hate rules. Don't get me wrong, I have been guilty of saying that many times and it may not be a very popular sentiment, but I don't think it's very fair.
