Because your living a "perfect life".
In conclusion, blind faith is supported in average sane religious person by noble motives, which legitimize the whole doctrine. And I agree with sane believers, compassion is really painful to accept and "sin" is what keeps me going.
There is such a thing as a "sane" believer? Where can I meet one? Wouldn't they be atheist as well if they were "sane"?
Yes, by societies acceptance/laws/rules/morays (not the eels) there are sane believers. Believers that are not considered insane. From my perspective it all come down to their ability to rationalize/justify/handle cognitive dissonance.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
