Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis
#14
RE: Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis
Not psychosis. It's very human and normal to believe what you were raised to believe and what everyone around you takes for granted is true; whether you depend on Jesus to help you find your car keys or your ancestors to protect you from witchcraft.

There's an element of luck in being an atheist, we shouldn't feel too proud of ourselves for not falling for theistic belief ourselves, any more than we should crow too much about any other advantage we happen to have.

No one is really to blame here, (almost) everyone is doing what they think is right when it comes to teaching their children. It's cultural heritage and human nature.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
