Thinking that God exists is entirely rational for me.
I dont suppose you could put up the Kierkegaard ''faith is an absurdity'' quote in full could you?
I dont remember it.
We don't give one flying fuck if you THINK a god existing is rational.

What is that to you? They have REASONS for thinking such.
If they are partly or wholly right or wrong they nonetheless have REASONS for thinking as they do. It is entirely RATIONAL to hold a (tentative) hypothesis even if it is based on weak evidence
...especially in the absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary.
And the Ouiji board folk arent going to be persuaded they are wrong by your unsupported atheist special pleading and your ''dont give a FF'' apathy.

I have all the evidence I need thanks. I'm doing fine. Thanks for your concern.
Now, I'm aware that there are some skeptical people who dont accept hearsay evidence, wont believe their own eyes, wont believe their parents, wont believe what they read in the newspapers, arent persuaded by argumentum ad populam considerations, etc etc. And I'm not saying they are insane or deluded or irrational.
...but if they are so desperately intent on thinking that the moon landing was fake, then sooner or later you have to shrug and move on.
