Choosing to believe

[Mr. Moncrieff]

I can choose to believe I have a massive member.

The fact that it's true backs such a belief up.

However, I can also believe that I am a millionaire.

Or I could believe I might become a millionaire.

There, the distinction shifts and becomes quite interesting.

I can't believe in a state in which I cannot possibly exist, based on the truths I know and the accepted parameters in which I presently live. But I could choose to believe in the possibility of an occurrence that is inherently possible due to that belief still existing within the accepted parameters of my life, but being highly unlikely.

This is where religion falls down.

The beliefs in the possibility of a deity, alongside the affirmation that there is a deity are both without merit under the current known parameters. Since parameters outside of those which we currently know - and those that are at all possible - would be inherently flawed.

Therefore, it is unreasonable to consider even the possibility.
