I was covering the "from nothing" argument for the benefit of readers, as it's a very common one. I'm not expecting CL to reply in particular ![Smile Smile](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I could chop up rationalisations all day and it won't make a difference, because they are not the real reasons people hold such beliefs in my opinion. And they have no duty to tell me what those reasons are, even if they are aware.
I don't think people necessarily even know why they hold such beliefs. Beliefs must have some sort of reason behind them, but it may not be one easily available to the conscious mind. Of course I think being surrounded by the mythology from a young age is the prime factor, in most cases. But who cares what I think, I'm just some guy.
