I wish to feel superior to reality (atheism)
#6
RE: I wish to feel superior to reality (atheism)
I can't relate.

I care too much whether my beliefs are true, even at the expense of a pleasurable fantasy. That is enough of a reward for me.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
