Yes, that is true but how do you turn your brain off? Do you just compartmentalize the portion of yourself that has faith and only ask for proof in other parts of your life? Can a Christian be honest when they condemn other people's religions for being illogical or without substance when they themselves can't come up with any better reasons for their faith? It isn't as if most Christians acknowledge that their faith makes no sense when they actively try to convince people to join their religion. Some Christians use their faith to justify laws against same sex marriage or abortion or even sex education in schools.
Imagine that I try to use the same logic in this thread to convince you that you should follow my goddess, an invisible, blue rabbit. Now imagine further that I am relatively sane in all other aspects of my life but this one belief. Like me, you would probably find yourself curious how I could just accept something as true when I don't use the same lack of proof in other parts of my life.
