I was telling my long suffering wife about how theists can astound me with their ability to compartmentalise. They can hold several beliefs concurrently which, if allowed to come into contact with each other, make no sense and cause instant contradictions. But I guess the pragmatic benefits of holding the beliefs in isolation has caused the brain to have this seemingly magical power. It keeps them apart and displaces anything which might threaten them.

Evolution never ceases to amaze me! It’s more magical than any religious story.
