Why people are religious

[Brian37]

You can show me what you don't understand. Show me the best you can come up with in your own words that you think I'm trying to say. And I can correct you on that or elaborate.

We know what you are saying, you don't know what you are saying. We do not doubt your sincerity in claiming it, we accept your word that you truly believe what you claim. What we doubt is your perception of reality.

Here is what you are mentally doing to yourself needlessly.

1. "I want this to be true"

2. "It has lots of pretty things I like in it"

3. "Other people like it as well"

4. "It has to be true because it is popular"

Again MK this is not even making fun of you. This is literally an explanation as to what leads you to your bad use of logic. This is what causes people of ALL religions to make a variety of god claims and religions.


Our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed and unfortunately we gap fill and god claims and religions as ideas are a result of that gap filling. I hope someday for your sake you can see what we see. Reality isn't frightening at all. You are not making arguments we have not seen from any other religion.
