This brilliant lecture gives the real, evidence based, reasons why people are still religious.








Will this finally eliminate Mozart's incoherent rants?

Not a chance in hell.

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.
