Why are deists so annoying?

[Jenny A]

I don't understand why Napo and Blackout (or anyone)care to understand so much.

Well, this is what Jenny was basically having a go at me for. "Why should we question when it doesn't serve a purpose"? Just because you don't see the purpose doesn't mean there isn't one. Can't I be genuinely curious about why a seemingly rational person chooses to believe something irrational? Is it wrong for my to try and highlight areas in their logic where I think they're contradicting themselves? Yeah, again, I don't buy into that. I guess some people see it as pointless, I don't.

I must admit though, I've probably posted too much in this thread. I just can't stop though, every time someone makes a point that I disagree with, I just have to respond. Maybe that's my irrational side coming out.

I just couldn't figure out where you thought you were going. Not all beliefs are rational. And when they aren't, the guy holding the belief may not know why. I just got irritated watching you two say the same things to each other over and over.

You know the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result the next time.

I'll give you my husband's line about superstition and God if you like. He says, "yes I know knocking on wood doesn't do anything. But no matter how much water of rationality, I pour over the problem, my gut still believes it's necessary." I guess I understand his gut. It's not an argument for anyone else to knock on wood. But in the end, it lowers his blood pressure, so let him knock.
