The interesting thing to my mid is that they all play on a form of religious belief. And that kind of informs my understanding of older beliefs too.
Evidence baby, Science, it works biatches.
Well, rationality needs to be demonstrated. Perhaps I should have said could be presented rationally and with good evidence. But i get your point, I think. I'm not too bright though, coz atheist.
Nothing about my own sense of spirituality asks me to abandon facts, evidence, or reason.
If it's atheism that makes a person dumb, you need to move over so I can sit there too.
I'm happy to be dumb and admit I don't know things. Happy to share that dumbness with anyone that cares to admit that too. I would like to know what's actually true, and the only way I know how to do that is good, substantiated evidence. But quite happy to admit I am not the smartest sandwich in life's picnic. Would rather have friends and good conversations..
