Why Can't others See?

[Dotard]

The gist of my post was to say believers really do not believe in an underlying reality of their belief.

If they did, they would be 100% obsessive. We are talking about eternal bliss or eternal damnation. What is this brief lifetime compared to eternity? It's nothing, not even a drop in the bucket.

So if one actually believed in a underlying reality then they would spend every waking moment doing what their religion tells them to do whether it be door to door 'spreading the news' to flying airplanes into buildings to killing folks for suggesting they follow other Gods.

People don't do these things because they really don't believe in any underlying reality. This is why most religions can live in peace with one another. Everyone suspects, on some level, that those 'others' don't really believe any more than they do.

Compartmentalized indoctrination aside, on a conscience or unconscience level, people don't really believe what they are spouting to believe. Why do they do this? Read my post again, I'm just repeating myself here.
