I'm new here and I have to say this place is an echo chamber for the same old theist crap.
Who fucking cares. Until theists can give me an honest coherent answer to why they believe that there is someone listening to their prayers that isn't riddled with bullshit about astrophysics and cave men and what have you then I can't help but hear their ramblings as pure bull crap. I just know that your beliefs preceded your armchair interest in half ass internet forum science.
It is abundantly clear to everyone that theist beliefs begin without the need for a reason and all the rest is just an attempt to prop up those beliefs.
At the core is the error of starting with belief.
My dog believes that there is someone outside the house every time snow falls from the eves and makes a sound. So what!
That is as useful as pointing out that man is naturally full of superstition and wrong assumptions.

'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
