People think their rational when surrounded by ignorance
it's hard to convince people otherwise when their brought up around ignorance i think people like theists believe they're rational i think it's easy to trick the brain into believing anything you want to believe yes anything. But deep down do we know the truth of course we do. For some people like theists i think it's very scary because its hard for them to feel comfortable with the thought we just go back into the earth but basically lose all our consciousness i know that fear very well. So to admit something like one day you're basically nothing again is scary and fear often takes over lives for as long as it can. So Is it rational? no, is it rational to them in the mindset their in yes. If they feel this way i don't wish to invalidate them on their feelings but what i do wish to do is maybe one day help educate if i ever find myself in a position where i too know enough to help.
