Many people claim to believe for reasons that are specific to them when really they don't.
i dont mean religious people. The vast majority of people i know "hope" there is a God and that leads them to believe in stuff like astrology...or often worse
Homeopathy?
I hate people who fail to see the evidence just so they can hope.
There is no valid reason to be racist or homophobic, especially not religious reasons even though that is a common occurence.
I was thinking about healing crystals or so-called "alternative treatments"
For example, a few years ago, my mother got way into a juice that was supposed to cure diseases, infections, and even cancer or AIDS. It cost her a LOT of money because of course the magic juice is expensive.
Why can't people just go with what has evidence ?
