But the minute they try to justify that belief either to themselves or others, they lose it. I mean, if the moment is right, and you want to share your hunch with someone you think would be helped by it. Sure, go ahead. But don't misrepresent it by over selling.
And it's worse with putzes like Drich who- and I find this extremely telling, myself- feel that the best way to validate their faith-based beliefs is by attacking and devaluing everyone else's beliefs. It's this bizarre, selfish thing they have, where if the cost of legitimizing their beliefs in their own minds is to make everyone else's beliefs and epistemology objectively worse, then that's a cost worth paying. Except they never seem to even realize that it's everyone else, paying for them.
