(July 24, 2013 at 5:05 pm)Slave Wrote: I am inclined to disagree. Theism is as natural a stance as atheism is. Neither state of mind requires brain washing to attain it, considering that there is a mounting case for the neuroscience of religious belief.

For authors such as those presented in the OP however, his faith seems to be propelled by more than his quest for truth. More like his fear of it.

You're right; it's natural for people who are ignorant of the answers to create answers. But for people born into modernised nations, such ignorance is impossible to retain naturally, save for brainwashing.
